Harold Lamb
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Harold Albert Lamb (1892 - 1962) was an American historian and novelist. Born in New York, he attended Columbia University, where his interest in the peoples and history of Asia began. Lamb built a career with his writing from an early age. He got his start in the pulps, quickly moving to the prestigious Adventure, his primary fiction outlet for nineteen years. In 1927 he wrote a biography of Genghis Khan, and following on its success turned more and more to the writing of non-fiction, penning numerous biographies and history books until his death in 1962. Lamb spoke French, Latin, Persian, and Arabic, and may have spoken Chinese.
