Richard O. Collin is an American author and scholar of international affairs. He is distinguished professor emeritus of political science at Coastal Carolina University.
After his service ended,[2] he received master's degree in political science from University of Kansas before graduating with a PhD in politics at University of Oxford in 1983.[1] He became Palmetto Professor of Politics at Coastal Carolina University,[1] and is currently distinguished professor emeritus of political science.[3]
Collin wrote several works about international affairs, including The De Lorenzo Gambit: The Italian Coup Manqué of 1974 (1975)[4] and The Blunt Instruments: Italy and the Police (1985).[5] In 1990, he co-authored Winter of Fire, about the kidnapping of James L.

He also contributed articles about international politics to publications like History Today and The Globalist.[8][2]
Historical novelsedit
In 1980, he published the political thriller novel Imbroglio, set in contemporary Italy.[7] He also wrote the historical romance novel Contessa (1994), about the relationship between a peasant woman and an aristocrat during the rise of Mussolini. Publishers Weekly praised the novel's historical accuracy but wrote that Collins' lack of understanding of "human relations or emotional truths" made its story fall flat.[9] His second novel, a spy thriller titled The Man With Many Names (1995), was more well received. It followed disillusioned American intelligence official during the Cold War.[10]
