J. Christoph Amberger

As publisher of Taipan, J. Christoph Amberger's role can be compared to that of a spider in the middle of the web. He is constantly in touch with all of Taipan's sources, contacts, and correspondents, directs their research, and identifies new and promising subjects.

J. Christoph Amberger grew up in what used to be West Berlin, Germany. Educated at Berlin, Göttingen, Aberdeen (Scotland) and St. John's Graduate Institute in Annapolis, Maryland, his work and travel have given him firsthand experience of eastern and western Europe, as well as North and Central America. A frequent speaker at international conferences, he is the author of several books and scores of articles and special reports on international politics, travel, palaeo-hoplology, and collectibles.

As a passionate fencer, he publishes Hammerterz Forum, an independent historic review of ancient fencing and close-combat systems. You can read excerpts from his latest book, The Secret History of the Sword, at www.swordhistory.com.
