Paul Britten Austin was an English author, translator, broadcaster, administrator, and scholar of Swedish literature He is known for his translations of and books on the Swedish musician, singer and poet Carl Michael Bellman.Britten Austin was born in Dawlish, South Devon, England His parents were the writers Frederick B.A King and Mildred King He was educated at Winchester College In 1951, he married novelist Margareta Bergman, sister of film director Ingmar Bergman they lived in Stockholm, where he worked for Radio Sweden as head of English language broadcasting He directed the Swedish Tourist Office in London between 1957 and 1968, at the same time working on his book on Carl Michael Bellman.Britten Austin was employed by Swedish Radio s international investment program from 1948 to 1957 and at the Swedish Tourist Association s office in London from 1957 to 1968.Alongside his career and his other writings, Britten Austin spent 25 years working on his detailed three volume eyewitness only account of Napoleon s disastrous invasion of Russia in 1812 He explains he is profoundly skeptical of historians He felt the readable they are, the less historically reliable , so instead he chose to invent nothing, hardly even a phrase but instead to resurrect them in their own words Britten Austin takes 160 people of the many thousands who made up the Grande Arm e I thought, and without any impertinent comments of my own after all I wasn t there , I might be able to reconstitute, as authentically as ever can be done, six months of vanished time To achieve this Naturally I have had to take my thousands of vivid fragments, longer or shorter, snip them and put them together in what I came to think of as a marching order , and generally help the reader not to go astray The result is a uniquely detailed report from the front.
