Author Info

Patterson's first book--Anti-Semitism: The Road to the Holocaust and Beyond--was called "important" by Publisher’s Weekly. "It can't be stressed enough how good a writer Charles Patterson is and what an excellent book he has produced," wrote Judaica Book News. "It deserves a place in every home, school and public library... excellent background reading in Jewish history and the history of western civilization."

The National Council for the Social Studies in Washington, D.C. presented him with its Carter G. Woodson Book Award for his young adult (YA) biography of Marian Anderson at a special luncheon at its annual convention in St. Louis, Missouri in 1989.

His most recent books include The Oxford 50th Anniversary Book of the United Nations, The Civil Rights Movement, From (co-author) and Eternal Treblinka: Our Treatment of Animals and the Holocaust (now in 13 languages).

Five of his YA books are back in print through The Authors Guild Backinprint program--Anti-Semitism: The Road to the Holocaust and Beyond, Animal Rights, Hafiz al-Asad of Syria, Marian Anderson and Thomas Jefferson.

His newest book--soon to be published--is In Dante's Footsteps (see FORTHCOMING NOVEL).
