Marcus A. Nannini

Author Biography

Mr. Nannini began his writing career when he published his own newspaper in the sixth grade and charged 25 cents per school quarter for the privilege of reading the only hand-written copy of each edition.

During the 8th grade his English teacher took him aside and said while she very much enjoyed his writing, he included too many details and that by doing so it distracted from his otherwise good storytelling. He took that lesson to heart.

In the final month of his senior year in HS his English Comp teacher took him aside and told him that he already had developed a unique writing style and he should never let anyone try to change it.

During his undergraduate years he was a paid newspaper reporter and also worked three semesters as the research assistant to journalism professor Richard Stocks Carlson, Ph.D. Dr. Carlson pointed to his sole published work, The Benign Humorists, and warned Nannini not to make the mistake he had committed by writing a book directed at a more “educated” market. Dr. Carlson advised Nannini to keep writing as an author who seeks to appeal to the mass-market reader.

Nannini’s most recent work, LEFT FOR DEAD AT NIJMEGEN, The True Story of an American Paratrooper in World War II (Casemate Publishers, Oxford, UK and Philadelphia, PA) won the Pencraft Awards for best Nonfiction Book of 2019, was added to the United States National Archives in July, 2019 and has received acclaim from reviews in Germany, Holland, Great Britain and the USA.

Nannini's much anticipated new book, MIDNIGHT FLIGHT TO NUREMBERG, THE CAPTURE OF THE NAZI WHO PUT ADOLPH HITLER INTO POWER is being released 30 September in the UNITED KINGDOM AND EUROPEAN UNION. It will be released in the USA and NORTH AMERICA IN mid-November 2021. Early reviews are "SMASHING!"

Nannini currently writes on a full-time basis. Look for more books from him in the near future along with articles he has composed for World War II History Magazine, History Magazine, Casemate Publishers UK-Blog and Military History Now Magazine.

Nannini often states he never knows whether what he's written is any good until he sees the reviews.
