Autorenporträt
Brian McDonald's first book, My Father's Gun, received critical acclaim as a "lucid" (The New Yorker) memoir of three generations of Irish-American police officers. It served as the basis of a two-hour docu-movie that aired on the History Channel in 2002. McDonald graduated from the Columbia School of Journalism and has written for the New York Times, Reader's Digest, and Gourmet magazine, among other publications. He lives in New York City.
