Author bio

Adler Tweed is a Southern Ontario writer, university-educated in history with a minor in political science. He writes across historical fiction, narrative nonfiction, Canadian history, political history, and plain-English civic education. His books and essays follow the paper trails, borders, laws, wars, offices, myths, and institutions through which societies explain themselves.

Adler Tweed is a pseudonym. No sensible mother would saddle a newborn with it. The name belongs to a library-bound man in a tweed jacket, less celebrity apparatus than quiet desk lamp. The work is the point: books about records, power, public memory, ordinary people, and the long shadow of decisions made in rooms most citizens never see.
