    Charles James Rolo, born to British parents in Alexandria, Egypt, graduated from Oxford University with honors and earned a masters from Columbia University's School of Journalism. In 1940, he worked as a translator and writer at the Princeton Listening Center of the Institute of Advanced Studies. Fluent in French, Italian and German, he monitored short wave propaganda broadcasts during World War II, which provided the basis for his first book, *Radio Goes to War*, a study of short-wave radio propaganda. After working with the British Information Services, where he headed the section on U.S. press, he served as an aide to Sir Isaiah Berlin, Winston Churchill's wartime envoy to the White House. In 1944, he wrote *Wingate's Raiders*, recounting the story of Major-General Orde Wingate's forays behind Japanese lines in Burma. He joined the Atlantic Monthly in 1948 as literary editor and critic and remained until 1961, when he joined McDonnell & Co. as a securities analyst. Rolo later became vice president of Halle & Stieglitz, which merged with Thomson & McKinnon. Beginning in 1976, he was a senior editor of *Money Magazine*. While there, he was the principal writer of the magazine's investment column *Money letter: Wall Street*. His last book *Gaining on the Market* was published in 1982. During his career Rolo also edited four anthologies: *The World of Aldous Huxley*, *The World of Evelyn Waugh*, *Psychiatry in American Life*, and *The Anatomy of Wall Street*.
