About the author
George Hooper was a British journalist and historian born in 1824 and died in 1890. He is best remembered for lively works of military history, including books on Waterloo, The Campaign of Sedan, and Wellington.
His writing focused on war, leadership, and turning points in European history, and it was shaped by a reporter's eye for movement and detail. Modern reprints and library records continue to describe him as a journalist as well as a historian, which fits the clear, narrative style of his books.
Reliable sources found for this overview confirmed his dates, his reputation as a British journalist and historian, and several of his best-known titles. I couldn't confirm a suitable portrait image from the sources available here, so no profile image is included.
