Anthony Price was born in Hertfordshire in 1928, was educated at King's School, Canterbury, and studied history at Merton College, Oxford. Apart from some peace-time soldiering he has been a journalist all his life, beginning as a reviewer of historical books, going on to become crime reviewer on the Oxford Mail, then Deputy Editor and finally Editor of the Oxford Times, from which position he retired during the summer of 1988.
He won the Crime Writer's Association's Silver dagger for his first novel THE LABYRINTH MAKERS, and their Gold Dagger for OTHER PATHS TO GLORY, which has been shortlisted for the "Dagger of Daggers" Award for the best crime novel of the last 50 years. All his novels reflect his intense interest in history and archaeology, and in particular in military history.
