Edmund Goldrick grew up in Canberra, and after studying at Australian National University went on to work as a political and strategic studies researcher and journalist in the United Kingdom. Most recently, following an article he wrote on Australian servicemen in Slovenia during World War II, his meticulous research and German language skills led to him co-writing The Greatest Escape with Neil Churches, a groundbreaking account of the escape of Australian, British, French, and New Zealander prisoners-of-war from German-occupied Slovenia in 1944. Anzac Guerrillas is Edmund's first book.
