Peter Dickson is a distinguished private scholar who has received both national and international attention for his startling discoveries and research which show a new political dimension to 1492 given Columbus' long overlooked notorious aristocratic wife, and which have affected the old Shakespeare identity controversy given the mounting evidence that the incumbent Bard (but not the real Shakespeare) was a secret Roman Catholic. Dickson graduated from Kenyon College magna cum laude with highest honors in history, and has three master's degrees from Michigan, Georgetown, and Harvard. He was a political-military analyst at the CIA and the State Department for twenty years and periodically lectures on foreign affairs topics at the Foreign Service Institute near his home in Arlington, Virginia.
