Author Bio:

Raised a Roman Catholic, Wills had a Jesuit education and entered a seminary. His first book was on the Christian writer G. K. Chesterton (known for the Father Brown mysteries), and he later wrote BARE, RUINED CHOIRS, about religion, and a short book on St. Augustine. Wills attended Yale University and received a Ph.D. in classics in 1961; his dissertation was on Aeschylus. He has been both an academic, teaching at Johns Hopkins and Northwestern universities, and a journalist. His early pieces were for the National Review, and he has also written for Newsweek and been a syndicated columnist, usually writing on political matters. A writer with a wide range of subjects, including the Declaration of Independence, presidents Nixon and Reagan, and John Wayne, Wills won the 1993 Pulitzer Prize for LINCOLN AT GETTYSBURG.
