Barry Cooper

Name: Barry Cooper

Location: Lord Rothschild’s Backyard (Waddesdon, Bucks)

Birthday: May 19^th 1977

Ethnicity: Mixed English/Afrikaans

Birthplace: Bulawayo, Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe)

Education: BA in History from Harding University, Searcy, AR, USA

Political Compass: Pretty centrist, but tend to be one square left and 3 squares authoritarian. I am a member of the Conservative party in the UK.

Jobs: Mainly selling ridiculously high quality and high priced beds in London, but also have worked as a TV Assistant Producer, Pest Control Surveyor and Self-Storage Manager in the past.

Favourite Historical periods:

Two mainly - My “war of choice” is the Seven Years War. I am also very interested in British Colonial military history.

Alternate History Pedigree:

It all started with “Guns of the South” by Harry Turtledove. Since then I have devoured as much AH as possible, mainly considering Turtledove and Stirling as AH gods made men. Harry Harrison should be taken out and shot.

Own AHs: American Dominions, Howe Lives, A Different Lancaster House Agreement, Rhodesia joins the Union of South Africa, An Alternate Suez Outcome, Operation Quartz Goes Ahead
