George Shipway

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

George Shipway (1908–1982) was a British author best known for his historical novels, but he also tried his hand at political satire in his book The Chilian Club.

Shipway was born in 1908, and served in the Indian Imperial Cavalry until 1946. He died in 1982. His cavalry background served him well when he took up writing; his descriptions of cavalry battles are full of minute detail and his works generally were meticulously researched.

IN his 1969 novel Knight in Anarchy Shipway describes the life of Humphrey de Visdeloup as he follows Geoffrey de Mandeville to his doom. In the book Shipway indicates that he lives on the estates that De Visdeloup once owned.
