Vernon L. Anley was educated in Australia and in England. After leaving university he worked for the Ministry of Overseas Development in the West Indies before resuming an academic career in Europe and the Far East. He has coauthored a number of academic books, written travel guides on the Hejaz and Yemen, radio scripts, and articles on linguistics and education. A Carnival of Lies, a novel about the complex developments in Germany between 1939 and 1945, is an outstanding work from which no one interested in the subject can fail to profit. His visits to Hitler's death camps in Germany, Poland, and Austria raised questions about human nature and death which he attempts to answer in An Unholy Love.
