Roger Manvell was born in England on October 10, 1909 and died on November 30, 1987. The co-founder and first director of the British Film Academy (a post he filled for over a decade) was also the author of many books on films and film-making, and authored and co-authored (with Heinrich Fraenkel) many books on Nazi Germany, including biographies of Adolf Hitler, Rudolf Hess, Heinrich Himmler, Joseph Goebbels and Hermann Göring.
