About John Bingham

He was educated at Cheltenham College, and he married Madeleine Mary Ebel, the daughter of Clement Ebel on July 28, 1934. His wife worked for the security services and was a biographer and playwright. John fought in World War II with the Royal Engineers, and was attached to the General Staff. On June 24, 1960, he succeeded as 7th Baron Clanmorris. It was during a train ride through the countryside where he overheard this conversation in German between two people in his car. The couple were observing and taking notes on the locations of military installations and potential munitions factories. John, pretending to also be German, spoke with the couple, obtaining their names and where it was they were staying, and he passed it on to this friend in intelligence. Rising to prominence with the Publication Order of Brock Books series, John Bingham has since expanded their repertoire to include numerous successful works across various genres. Their writing style, characterized by compelling narratives and memorable characters, has earned them a dedicated global readership with millions of fans worldwide.
