Avro Manhattan (1914–1990) was a writer, primarily known for his criticisms of the Roman Catholic Church. Having covered various political topics throughout his career, Manhattan is perhaps best remembered as the author of several works discussing the Vatican's role in world politics and global affairs. ==Life== Born in Milan, Italy on April 6, 1914 to American and Swiss/Dutch parents of Jewish extraction, Manhattan was educated at the Sorbonne and the London School of Economics. During World War II, Manhattan was jailed in Italy for refusing to serve in Benito Mussolini's fascist army. Later during the war, he operated a radio station called "Radio Freedom" broadcasting to nations occupied by the Axis Powers. His friends included H G Wells, Pablo Picasso, George Bernard Shaw and scientist Marie Stopes. Manhattan spent much of his later life after 1979 at the ornately decorated home of his wife's late mother in South Shields, North East England. He is buried in Blackhill cemetery in Consett, England. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Avro Manhattan」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
