About meAuthor bio:
Douglas Hunter has written widely on history, business, the environment, and sport. His books include War Games (Penguin Canada, 1996), which explored the convergence of sport, politics and combat in Canada during the Second World War; Molson (Penguin Canada, 2001), which examined the founding of the eponymous brewery empire by a teenage immigrant to Montreal in 1782; The Bubble and the Bear (Doubleday Canada 2002), which dissected the tech-stock bubble through the rise and fall of Nortel and won Canada’s National Business Book Award; and God’s Mercies (Doubleday Canada 2007), which revealed the traumatic convergence in the careers of Henry Hudson and Samuel de Champlain and was a finalist for both the Writers’ Trust Non-Fiction Prize and the Governor-General’s Literary Award. He is also coauthor (with Steve Killing) of Yacht Design Explained (WW Norton 1998), which has become a standard reference work on the subject.

His latest book, Half Moon, will be published in September 2009 by Bloomsbury Press.
