Thurston Clarke

Thurston Clarke (b. 11 March 1946 in New York City) is an American writer and historian best known for general interest non-fiction, although he has also written one work of fiction. He was educated at Yale University, Columbia University and the School of Oriental and African Studies.

"His enthusiasm is infectious...he entertains and illuminates, writing gracefully, and with a fine sense of irony... He's funny and he's fair and he swims well against powerful cultural cross-currents." "New York Times Book Review"

Thurston Clarke is the author of eleven books of nonfiction and fiction. His most recent work is "The Last Campaign: Robert F. Kennedy and 82 Days That Inspired America" (Henry Holt, 2008).

His books have been chosen as Notable Books of the Year and Editors’ Choice by the New York Times Book Review, made into a television mini-series and used as the basis for documentaries, serialized in newspapers around the world, and translated into eight foreign languages.

Thurston Clarke is a frequent speaker on writing, modern history, travel, and other topics. He has spoken at the New York Public Library and Key West Writers Conference, on Public Radio and C-Span, and at colleges, clubs, and cultural organizations throughout the United States and internationally. He lives with his wife and three daughters in the Adirondacks, in upstate New York.
