Dr. James Thompson

Dr. James Thompson's passion for history began when he discovered that behind every major historical event were fascinating personal stories waiting to be told. After earning his Ph.D. in History from Yale, he spent years in archives uncovering the human side of history. His breakthrough came when he realized that readers connect more deeply with history when they can see themselves in the people who lived it. His first book, 'Voices from the Revolution,' told the American Revolution through the eyes of ordinary people, becoming a bestseller and changing how people think about historical writing. Dr. Thompson believes that history is not just about dates and battles, but about the human experience across time. He lives in Boston, where he continues to research and write about the people who shaped our world.

The historian who brings the past to life through the stories of ordinary people in extraordinary times.
