Christopher Buckley (22 May 1905 – 12 August 1950) was a British journalist and historian working for ''The Daily Telegraph'' newspaper. Buckley studied military history at Oxford before he started as a war correspondent in 1940.〔(Korean War Educator – War Correspondents )〕 His reporting from battles and front lines in World War II earned him international prestige. He was the author of ''Road to Rome, An Account of Military Operations in Italy, 1934–44'' (1945) and wrote official accounts of military operations (e.g., the ''History of the Second World War'') for His Majesty's Stationery Office (HMSO). He was the author of two novels, ''Rain Before Seven'' (1947) and ''Royal Chase'' (1949). The first of these has been described as "something of a forgotten late golden age classic" in the crime fiction field.〔Bob Adey in ''CADS, Crime and Detection Stories'', Issue 67, March 2014, p. 34〕 In 1950, while reporting from the Korean War, he was killed by a landmine exploding under his jeep. He is buried at the United Nations Memorial Cemetery in Busan, South Korea.〔(United Nations Memorial Cemetery, Christopher Buckley )〕 ==References== ==External links== * (【引用サイトリンク】publisher=The Freedom Forum Journalists Memorial ) * 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「Christopher Buckley (journalist)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
