Autorenporträt

David Cohen got his Ph.D. on what makes children laugh. His latest books are Churchill and Attlee: The Unlikely Allies Who Won the War and Surviving Lockdown: Human Nature in Social Isolation, which was written in a hurry when we thought the pandemic would soon be over. If only. He is also a film-maker. His ITV film on the Soham murders was nominated for the Baftas. He produced London Unplugged, ten short films about London, and is planning to make a feature film based on his book The Escape of Sigmund Freud, the story of how Freud got out of Vienna in 1938.
