John Garth, winner of the Mythopian Society Award for Research in Mythology and Fantasy (2004), is the recipient of the British Tolkien Society Award for Outstanding Contribution to the Study of Tolkien's Works. He is currently working on a new book, Tolkien's Mirror. His book, Tolkien and the Great War, is based on valuable material drawn from unpublished letters from Tolkien and his closest friends, military archives and unique documents from the era.
John Garth's book "Tolkien and the Great War. On the Threshold of Middle-earth" is a study based on J. R. R. Tolkien's personal war diaries, focusing on the influence of his life experiences on the writing of The Lord of the Rings. This is the first virtually new biography of Tolkien since 1977. Devoted fans of Tolkien's world will be given, for the first time, the story of the creation of Middle-earth in the midst of the chaos and worldwide catastrophe that was World War I. Tolkien's experience and his desire to redefine reality rather than escape from it, his belief in magical enchantments - this is what has come to symbolize the "lost generation," and this is what Garth calls the secret to the enduring appeal of the world of Tolkien's works.
