Great Battles For Boys

Joe Giorello grew up in a large Italian family in Queens, New York. From a young age, he was captivated by military history and the personal stories of Veterans. He credits that history for turning him into a voracious reader.

Later, as the father of a reluctant reader, Joe realized military history might change the course of his son's life, too. The first book in the Great Battles for Boys series was first a rescue-mission for his own family.

In addition to a successful sales career, Joe taught military history classes for nearly 10 years throughout the Seattle area. Now retired, he writes from the mountains of Arizona and is a member of the Daisy Mountain Veterans Association. He also enjoys working with horses and exploring battle sites in the American southwest.
