Hadrian was Spanish, and a restless, inquiring intellectual. He travelled constantly and spent much time in cultural centres like Athens and Alexandria. Although he was not warlike, he was a good soldier, and was comfortable mingling amongst all ranks. And yet his personal life was a complicated one, rife with scandal and conflicted sexuality.

Stealthy, and deadly, the nuclear submarines of the Royal Navy lie in wait in the depths of the world's oceans, ready to listen, intercept, and attack wherever they may be needed - from the coastline of Libya to the ice caps of the Arctic. If the UK is hit by a devastating nuclear strike, they'll be the last military force standing.

Every member of the Goldfish Club has been forced to broadcast these terrifying words from a stricken aircraft, making them one of the most unusual fellowships in the world. Formed during the Second World War to foster comradeship among pilots who had been forced to bail out over water, the Goldfish Club has taken on new airmen (and one woman) ever since and there are hundreds of tales to be told. All are different. All are utterly gripping.

Danny Danziger on the 1st of February, 1953 in the United Kingdom, the son of Edward and Gigi (Guggenheim) Danziger.
Danny Danziger studied at Rollins College, where he earned a Bachelor’s degree.
Danny Danziger started his career as a columnist for the Independent in 1990-1995. After that he worked for the Daily Mail in 1996-97 and the Sunday Times in 1999.
Danizger put his interviewing skills to good use for several of his early books. “Eton Voices”, a collection of interviews with the alumni of Eton College, was published in 1988, and The Noble Tradition: Intimate Interviews with the Medical Profession, which contains interviews with paramedics, researchers, surgeons, and other health professionals, followed two years later.
Danziger published “The Orchestra: The Lives Behind the Music” in 1995, a somewhat controversial look at the London Philharmonic Orchestra.
Danziger co-founded “Cover”, a monthly magazine based in London, in 1997, together with author and historian Robert Lacey. The pair later collaborated on “The Year 1000: What Life Was Like at the Turn of the First Millennium” that was written in 1999. The book chronicles everyday life in Anglo-Saxon England at the end of the first millennium, describing the Anglo-Saxon diet, clothing, and social customs, among other topics.
In 2003 Danziger co-wrote with John Gillingham “1215: The Year of Magna Carta”. The book examines a turning point in history: the drafting of the Magna Carta, a document that established the foundations for modern freedom and justice.
Danziger co-wrote with Nicholas Purcell “Hadrian's Empire: When Rome Ruled the World” in 2005, which provides readers with a general overview of what life was like under Roman rule across not just Europe, but what would eventually become Great Britain as well.
Danziger’s “Museum: Behind the Scenes at the Metropolitan Museum of Art” was published in 2007, which profiles the many individuals who work at the museum, including full-time employees, part-time employees, and even volunteer workers, giving readers a clear look at what it takes to keep a major museum running smoothly. Danziger interviewed a total of fifty-two people out of approximately 2,000, careful to maintain an even distribution of departments and hierarchies. The results are collected in “Museum” and shared in alphabetical order so that no one job or personality is placed above another in importance.
Danziger’s most recent books are "The Whatchamacallit” that was written in 2009, “We Are Soldiers: Our Heroes. Their Stories. Real Life on the Frontline” in 2010, “Sub: Real Life on Board with the Hidden Heroes of the Royal Navy's Silent Service” in 2011, “The Goldfish Club” in 2012.
Danny Danziger was published in periodicals such as Birmingham Post, Booklist, Guardian, Independent, Kirkus Reviews, Library Journal, New Statesmen, Publishers Weekly, Scotsman, Sunday Telegraph, Sunday Times, Times and Whole Earth.
