Steven Tucker is a UK-based author whose work has appeared in print and online worldwide, and who writes the regular ‘Strange Statesmen’ column in 'Fortean Times' magazine, detailing the lives and misdeeds of history’s strangest politicians and military dictators. The author of over ten books, mostly about fringe-beliefs and eccentrics, his works include 'Blithe Spirits: An Imaginative History of the Poltergeist', a comparative study of hauntings. His two most recent books, 'Nazi UFOs' and 'The Saucer and the Swastika', expose the bizarre story of how modern-day neo-Nazi cults invented the lunatic lie that Adolf Hitler secretly invented flying saucers, and the neo-Gnostic fascist pseudo-religion the legend helped spawn. His next title, 'Hitler’s & Stalin’s Misuse of Science', is available from October 2023.
