Welcome to the world of Raymond Brocklesby, an author who brings history to life, one personal story at a time. Originally from Wales, Raymond is a former adult education teacher whose passion for the past now sees him writing compelling historical narratives from his base in the Philippines. His background as an educator shines through in his ability to make complex events accessible and deeply human.
Raymond has a distinctive approach to storytelling: he explores monumental, world-changing events by focusing on the experiences and viewpoints of the individuals caught within them. This unique perspective allows readers to connect with history on a profoundly personal level, understanding the human cost, the personal journeys, and the quiet acts of courage that often lie beneath the surface of grand historical accounts. His books invite you to see pivotal moments not just as dates and facts, but as lived experiences.
Among his recent works, “A Sniper’s Story” exemplifies this approach, immersing readers in the intense and personal realities of conflict through the eyes of one individual. Alongside such narratives, “Origins of The Storm” offers a meticulous exploration of the tumultuous period leading to the Second World War in Europe, demonstrating his commitment to understanding the critical events that have shaped our world. Across his writing, Raymond consistently seeks to illuminate the human element within the vast sweep of history.
