He is known for his writing about the Second World War.

His thesis is on the postwar activities of Werner Naumann. CareerFrom 1992 to 2000 he worked at The Times.

"Frustrated at the enormous amount of junk history around, Guy sees it as his personal mission to wage war on ignorance and misconceptions about the past.".[2] He was scathing about the Hitler conspiracy book and film Grey Wolf describing it as "2,000 per cent rubbish" when the book was published. Walters added: "It's an absolute disgrace. There's no substance to it at all. It appeals to the deluded fantasies of conspiracy theorists and has no place whatsoever in historical research."[3] Writing in the Daily Mail, Walters has raised questions regarding the veracity of Denis Avey's claims to have smuggled himself into Auschwitz[4] and about fraudulent Holocaust memoirs generally,{{cn|date=February 2017}} and has questioned the level of acclaim given to Mary Seacole.{{cn|date=February 2017}} In June 2013, he was appointed to the position of lecturer in modern British history at the New College of the Humanities in London.{{citation required|date=July 2017}} Personal lifeWalters lives in Wiltshire with his wife Annabel Venning and their two children.[5] Selected publicationsFiction
