Schweitzer Klassifikation
Brandon M. Stickney is a biographer, documentarian, and journalist.
A native of Lockport, New York, with a B.A. from the University at Buffalo, he has appeared in Time, the Associated Press, USA Today, the Los Angeles Times, on A&E, the History Channel, NPR, and every major news network.
He is the author of All-American Monster: The Unauthorized Biography of Timothy McVeigh (Prometheus Books, 1996)-in print twenty-two years-and The Amazing Seven Sutherland Sisters: A Biography of America's First Celebrity Models (Niagara History Center, 2012).
His first book was made into documentaries for A&E, Court TV, FilmRise, and truTV. His second book is a Travel Channel documentary for "Mysteries at the Museum." He is also the author of The House the Beatles Built: A Memoir of My Time Working for Geoffrey Giuliano.
Stickney's experience as a biographer, perspective on American incarceration, and his role in the underground world of opiate addiction make him uniquely qualified for this memoir of prison friendship, recovery, and societal reform.
