by J. Saxon (John Saxon) Mills
John Saxon Mills, usually published as J. Saxon Mills, was an English writer whose books show a strong interest in politics, history, and public life. Reliable catalog records connect him with works including The Panama Canal, The Press and Communications of the Empire, The Question of Thrace, and David Lloyd George, War Minister.
The available biographical notes suggest he was trained in the law and also worked in teaching and journalism before becoming known for nonfiction writing. His career appears to have included newspaper work and political commentary, which helps explain the clear, explanatory style of his books and his focus on current affairs, empire, and international questions.
He also wrote biography, including Life and Letters of Sir Hubert Herkomer, showing a range that went beyond politics into cultural subjects. I wasn't able to confirm a suitable portrait image from reliable page images during this search, so no profile image is included here.
