Richard Michael Connaughton (born 20 January 1942) is a British Army officer and author specialised in military history.

Life

Connaughton was educated at Duke of York's Royal Military School in Dover, Kent and the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst.[1] He served in the British Army for more than 30 years, where he specialised in military logistics.[1] Connaughton was stationed in East Asia at the Brigade of Gurkhas, before being seconded to Germany and Northern Ireland.[1] Connaughton was an instructor at the Army Staff College Camberley and at the Australian Command and Staff College. After two years of service as head of Defence Studies of the British Army he voluntarily resigned from active service in the rank of a colonel.[1]

Since the mid-1980s, Connaughton has written on military history, e.g. on subjects such as the Russian-Japan War, Admiral Alexander Kolchak's service during the Russian Civil War or General Douglas MacArthur's escape from the Philippines.

Connaughton is an elected Fellow of the Institute of Management (1983) and Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Transport (1989).[1] From 1989 to 1990 he undertook a Defence Fellowship at the University of Cambridge. In 1992 Connaughton became Research Fellow of the Centre for Defence and International Security Studies (CDISS) of Lancaster University. He holds a Master of Philosophy (M.Phil Cantab) in International Relations from the University of Cambridge and a Ph.D. in Politics of Lancaster University.[1]

Connaughton is married to Annis Rosemary Georgina Best since 1971.[2] He has a son (born 1972) and a daughter (born 1974).[2]
