Bruce Ware Allen

Bruce Ware Allen writes about history in Madison Connecticut. He grew up in New Jersey, the Netherlands, and Italy and received a degree in classics from Duke University. He is the author of The Great Siege of Malta: The Epic Battle between the Ottoman Empire and the Knights of St. John(ForeEdge, 2015). His interest in the American Revolution stems in part from stories of his g-g-g-great-grandfather Phineas Allen who, as a sixteen year old volunteer from Massachusetts, was present at the hanging of Major Andre at West Point.
