Dr. Nicholas Tracy
Fredericton’s Dr. Nicholas Tracy is one of Canada’s leading naval historians, with more than a dozen respected academic texts to his publishing credit. His cap-stone volume, A Two-Edged Sword: The Navy as an Instrument of Canadian Foreign Policy, was awarded the 2012 John Lyman Book Award for Canadian Naval and Maritime History by the North American Society for Oceanic History. Dr. Tracy also has a distinguished teaching career in UNB’s History Department.
In “Master and Madman, the Surprising Rise, and Disastrous Fall of the Hon. Anthony Lockwood; R.N.” Tracy examines the life of a naval officer who became Surveyor General of New Brunswick in 1819 after a life in the Royal Navy but went mad and attempted a coup d’état. Master and Madman was a twenty-year project by Peter Thomas, who on his death bed asked Tracy to finish the book.
