Award-winning former diplomat Michael Hamilton Morgan is both a novelist and nonfiction author. His previous book was Collision with History: the Search for John F. Kennedy’s PT 109, a book and tv documentary released by National Geographic and MSNBC in 2002. In 2001 he co-authored Graveyards of the Pacific, also published by National Geographic. On those books he collaborated with undersea explorer and Titanic discover Robert D. Ballard.

Morgan’s 1991 international thriller The Twilight War (Dutton/Signet) was set in Eastern Europe, Central America and Washington. National Book Award winner John Casey called it "profound, canny, intelligent … a top echelon thriller."

Morgan is also founder and President of New Foundations for Peace (www.nfpeace.org), a nonprofit created to teach leadership skills to young people worldwide.
