Born Jacques Bain Pearl on September 12, 1923 in New York City, he received his B.A. and M.A. degrees at Columbia University. During World War II, he served overseas with the Military Police of the U.S. Army in Africa, Sicily and Italy for thirty months.
Pearl began his career as an engineer, but soon decided that writing held more promise for him. During his varied literary career, he was a writer on the Gangbuster TV show, an advertising copywriter and was formerly managing editor of Saga and Climax magazines. Between 1961-1964, he wrote a series of novels, biographies and non-fiction, mostly military, including the bestsellers General Douglas MacArthur (1961), Blood-and-Guts Patton (1961) and Dangerous Assassins (1964). He also wrote the paperbacks from the movie scripts of Robin and 7 Hoods (1964), Yellow Rolls-Royce (1965), Our Man Flint (1965) and Funny Girl (1968).
Pearl died on October 23, 1992, aged 69.visualizza meno
