Gerald Seymour is most famous for describing reality-based, war-time conflict. He is the best-selling author of over 30 thrillers.
Gerald was born in Guildford, Surrey, in 1941 to two literary figures. His father, William Kean Seymour, a writer, poet, and literary critic, wrote poems such as the Street of Dreams, To Verhaeren and A Jackdaw in Georgia.
His mother, Rosalind Wade, was also a novelist and an editor of the Contemporary Review. Initially a journalist, Gerald joined the Independent Television Network (ITN) in 1963 and forged a successful career. He covered controversial situations such as the Munich Olympics Massacre and Palestinian Militant Groups.
