About The Author
Danny S. Parker
DANNY S. PARKER developed a keen interest in the history of the Second World War at an early age. For twenty years, he has researched an in-depth biography of Jochen Peiper – an effort which spans over 200 interviews in the US and Europe. Unique information developed on the Malmedy massacre saw the publication of Fatal Crossroads in 2011. His general biography of Peiper, Hitler’s Warrior, was released to accolades in 2014 and Peiper’s War in 2020 covers the war years. His long-awaited final book in the series chronicles Peiper’s famous battle to turn the tide of the war in the Ardennes. The author is interested in preserving the rich history of the Second World War and through it conveying insight into the human condition. His other interests span the gamut: the early space program, low energy design, invention, Zen practice and good coffee.
