Benedict Richard Pierce Macintyre (born 25 December 1963) is a British author, historian, reviewer[1] and columnist writing for The Times newspaper. His columns range from current affairs to historical controversies.

Early life

His father was Angus MacIntyre, the son of Major Francis MacIntyre, of the 14th/20th King's Hussars. His paternal grandmother was related to the ancestral line of Viscount Netterville. He has an elder sister, born 1962, and a younger brother, born 1971. On his mother's side he is related to the Harvey baronets and Berkeley Paget. He was educated at Abingdon School and St. John's College, Cambridge, where he graduated with a degree in history in 1985.[2]

Personal life

Macintyre was married to Kate Muir. He has three children[3] and lives in North London.

Writing

Macintyre is the author of a book on the gentleman criminal Adam Worth, The Napoleon of Crime: The Life and Times of Adam Worth, Master Thief.

He also wrote The Man Who Would Be King: The First American in Afghanistan (about Josiah Harlan). This was also published as Josiah the Great: The True Story of the Man who Would be King.[4] Harlan is one of the candidates presumed to be the basis for Rudyard Kipling's short story The Man Who Would Be King.

His book on Eddie Chapman, a double agent of Germany and Britain during the Second World War, was titled Agent Zigzag: The True Wartime Story of Eddie Chapman: Lover, Betrayer, Hero, Spy.

In 2008, Macintyre wrote an illustrated account of Ian Fleming, creator of the fictional spy James Bond, to accompany the For Your Eyes Only, Ian Fleming and James Bond exhibition at London's Imperial War Museum, which was part of the Fleming Centenary celebrations.[5][6]

Four of his books have recently been made into documentaries for the BBC:

  • Operation Mincemeat (2010),[7]
  • DOUBLE AGENT: The Eddie Chapman Story (2011),[8]
  • Double Cross - The True Story of the D Day Spies (2012)[9]
  • Kim Philby - His Most Intimate Betrayal.[10]
