Champ Clark was a graduate of Kent School. During the 1940s he attended the University of Missouri, an education that was interrupted by four years of service in the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve during World War II.
During World War II, Clark served as a Japanese interpreter for the Marines in the Pacific. After the war, although he did not complete his degree, he found a job as a reporter with the Kansas City Star in 1947. Then, in 1951, he began his long career at Time, first as a writer, then as a senior editor from 1960 to 1974, Chicago bureau chief from 1969 to 1972, and senior correspondent from 1972 to 1974.
After leaving journalism behind, Clark continued to work for Time Inc. as an author of books for publisher Time-Life, including The Badlands, Flood, Decoying the Yanks, Gettysburg, and The Assassination of Abraham Lincoln. Besides, he edited dozens of other Time-Life books.
Clark spent many of his remaining years as a journalism lecturer at the University of Virginia, where he taught until 1996, and as a member of the board of visitors there from 1996 until 2000.
