Erskine Childers by Jim Ring
This biography of Erskine Childers shows that he led a life as enigmatic and adventurous as his classic novel, The Riddle of the Sands. It tells how his original patriotism changed due to his views of how Irish independence was handled pre-World War I and culminated in his joining the IRA.
Jim Ring was educated at Brasenose College, Oxford, where he was a scholar. His biography of Erskine Childers, author of The Riddle of the Sands, won the Marsh Prize for biography in 1997. It was followed by How the English Made the Alps. A study of Britain's Cold War submariners, We Come Unseen, appeared in 2001. This won the Mountbatten prize. He is married with one daughter and one son, and lives on the North Norfolk coast.
