W.E.B. Griffin

W.E.B. Griffin ist das Pseudonym von William Edmund Butterworth III, einem renommierten US-amerikanischen Autor von Militär- und Kriminalromanen. Er wurde am 10. November 1929 geboren und wuchs in den Städten New York und Philadelphia auf. Griffins Romane haben große Popularität erlangt, mit mehr als 50 Millionen Exemplaren, die in über zehn Sprachen übersetzt wurden, darunter Hebräisch, Chinesisch, Japanisch und Ungarisch.

Bevor Griffin in den Achtzigern als W.E.B. Griffin bekannt wurde, war er bereits ein produktiver Schriftsteller unter mehreren verschiedenen Pseudonymen. Seine Werke sind hauptsächlich in Reihen wie The Brotherhood of War, The Corps, Men at War, Badge of Honor, Honor Bound und The Presidential Agent series zu finden. Griffins Romane sind für ihre historische Genauigkeit bekannt, mit heftigen und unnachgiebigen Szenen, wie von The Philadelphia Inquirer gelobt.

Griffins persönliche Erfahrungen haben großen Einfluss auf sein Schreiben genommen. Er trat 1946 in die US-Armee ein, durchlief die Grundausbildung und das Gegenaufklärungstraining in Fort Holabird, Maryland. Er diente in der Besatzungsarmee in Deutschland und war Stabsmitglied des damaligen Generalmajors I.D. White, Kommandeur der US-Kavallerie. 1951 wurde er für den Koreakrieg reaktiviert, wo er das Combat Infantry Badge als Kriegsberichterstatter verdiente und später als Pressesprecher der X Corps (Group) unter Lieutenant General White diente. Nach seinem Militärdienst wurde er Leiter der Abteilung für Öffentlichkeitsarbeit der U.S. Army Signal Aviation Test & Support Activity at Fort Rucker, Alabama.

Griffins Auszeichnungen und Ehrungen sind zahlreich, darunter der Brigadier General Robert L. Dening Memorial Distinguished Service Award der U.S. Marine Corps Combat Correspondents Association und der Veterans of Foreign Wars News Media Award. Er wurde in die Orden von St. George der U.S. Armor Association und St. Andrew der U.S. Army Aviation Association eingeführt und mit Ehrendoktorwürden von Norwich University und Troy State University (Ala.) ausgezeichnet. Griffin ist Mitbegründer des William E. Colby Seminars for Intelligence, Military, and Diplomatic Affairs. Er teilt seine Zeit zwischen der Golfküste und Buenos Aires.
