Richard P. West is a retired engineer who lives in Canada. Richard's career has taken him to all continents (except Antarctica) and has included a wide range of experiences.
He has always loved to read about new things, discover people's life stories and enjoy fiction. Exposed to Welsh poetry and verse by his wife, he has a soft spot for Dylan Thomas. But whether it is Dickens, Lawrence or Czerneda, it's the story they tell that fascinates.
Later in life, Richard realised that although he loved to read what people have written, he had little idea how they did it. Never one to just shrug off a question, he set out to learn how to write. The journey of learning something of this craft has been and is most rewarding. Richard has written a number short stories and has self-published four books.

Few figures have dominated a nation's destiny as much as Marshal Tito of former Yugoslavia. For nearly thirty years he held together mutually hostile religious groups in a deeply divided country, but his death in 1980 rekindled centuries-old hatreds and by 1992 Yugoslavia ceased to exist. In this revealing biography, Richard West questions the full impact of Tito's reign of power and his implicit responsibility for the ensuing violent, bloody war in Bosnia.

'Admirable ... Carefully researched and extremely readable.' Literary Review
'A passionate book, in which West's historical sense is interlaced with his own very intimate knowledge of Yugoslavia from the late 1940s on and of the poignancy of [subsequent] events.' Fergus Pyle, Irish Times
