Anthony Masters

Born: December 13 1940

Died: 0303 04 20032003

Anthony Masters was a writer, educator and humanitarian of exceptional gifts and prodigious energy. He was, in the parlance of his spiritual ancestors, the ancient mariners, that rare voyager "as gracious as a trade wind and as dependable as an anchor".

He leaves 11 works of adult fiction – notably, Conquering Heroes , Red Ice , The Men , The Good and Faithful Servant and Lifers – and was in the process of completing another, Dark Bridges, which he thought would be his best. Many of these works carry deep insights into social problems that he gained, over four decades, by helping the socially excluded, be it by running soup kitchens for drug addicts or by campaigning for the civic rights of gypsies and other ethnic minorities.

His non-fiction output was typically eclectic. It ranged from the biographies of such diverse personalities as Hannah Senesh , Mikhail Bakunin , Nancy Astor and the British secret service chief immortalised by Ian Fleming in his James Bond books , to a history of the notorious asylum Bedlam .
