These groundbreaking books have included national and state award-winners and three other books--Anne Bonny, Mia Leimberg, and Cathy Williams--that have been optioned for Hollywood films. In addition, other books are also being considered as possible future films at this time. No historian in America has been more eclectic in writing about so many diverse historical subjects and different time periods throughout the past than Tucker. And no author in America has written more groundbreaking books in multiple fields of history than Dr. Tucker, who has become a leading expert in many different fields of history. Even more, very few, if any, historians have displayed a mastery of so many different historical subjects.
Even more, he was won acclaim as "America's most groundbreaking American Revolutionary War historian." Dr. Tucker has become the most prolific and groundbreaking historian in America in the twenty-first century, while gaining an international reputation and audience as a mythbuster by writing cutting edge, insightful, and well-researched history for the twenty-first century. In his many books, he is also known for making history come alive like few other authors today with his well-written and deeply researched books of distinction. Decade after decade and like no other author in America today, Tucker has presented some of the most important and compelling stories in the annals of American history. He has consistently written about some of the best and most fascinating chapters of not only American history but also world history.
A summa cum laude graduate from St. Louis University, St. Louis Missouri, with a Ph.D. in history, Dr. Tucker has also gained recognition as America's most prolific "New Look" historian in many fields of history. No author has produced more important books about military history, Black history, and Women's history in the last half century than the iconoclastic Tucker. He was a distinct penchant for finding rare gems in history and writing the first-time stories about some of the remarkable men and women, both famous and little-known, in history around the world.
Gifted historian Perry D. Jamieson, Ph.D., wrote a fundamental truth about Tucker: "One of the Innovative, Hardest Working, and Diligently Productive Historians of His Generation." And Dr. Jamieson also penned how: "What separates [Phillip Thomas Tucker, Ph.D.] from other historians is that he is an innovative 'idea person.' I have known very few historians who can match his ability to conceive a topic, develop a fresh approach to it, and write about it in length." Tucker has earned three degrees in the field of history. In 1990, he earned a Ph.D. in history from prestigious St. Louis University, St. Louis, Missouri, the first Jesuit university of higher learning established west of the Mississippi River.
Tucker worked for more than two decades in the prestigious position of a Department of Defense civilian historian, including for the United States Air Force Chief of Staff at the Pentagon in Washington, D.C. and at military bases across the United States. Best known for presenting fresh perspectives and original ideas to demythologize outdated, traditional history, Dr. Tucker has authored more than 200 works in history, including scholarly articles and books, that have overturned established history.
The winner of prestigious national awards and well-known in the history field as a "creative, innovative thinker, who has a gift for conceiving and outlining original works in history in serious history," in the on-target analysis of one veteran historian, Dr. Tucker has emerged as America's most prolific, innovative, hardest-working, and groundbreaking historian in the 21st century.
