Robert Wilton Biography

Robert Wilton is one of the most popular and richest Writer who was born on February 22, 1973 in United Kingdom. Robert Wilton was born 22 February 1973. He is a British diplomat and writer. He has served as a diplomat in the Balkans. This includes as an advisor for the prime minister of Kosovo and as the Deputy Ambassador for NATO Security and Co-operation in Europe. As a writer he is known for his Comptrollerate-General series of historical novels, for the first of which he was awarded the Historical Writers’ Association Crown.

In 2012 Wilton was awarded the Historical Writers’ Association/Goldsboro Books Crown for best debut historical novel for The Emperor’s Gold.

In the introduction to The Emperor’s Gold, Wilton describes how – following a trail that started with a reference in a book to the occupant of his office a century earlier – he found in the Ministry of Defence archives the records of a department or organisation called the Comptrollerate-General for Scrutiny and Survey. Not widely known or well studied, the Comptrollerate-General is said to have existed for several centuries (sometimes with different forms or names) within the British Government’s security and intelligence framework. In the Comptrollerate-General novels, Wilton prints documents from the archive to add background to what he calls ‘fictionalisations’ of key episodes in British history: taking the narrative from recognised history and the archive’s revelations, and embellishing it with conjectured characterisations and scenes.

To mark the centenary of the assassination of the Archduke Franz Ferdinand, The Spider of Sarajevo was launched in the city on 28 June 2014. The novel presents the events of the weeks leading up to the assassination in the summer of 1914: the activities of four Comptrollerate-General agents travelling through Europe are used to explore the political and espionage context of the time, and the novel also shows the confusion within the evolving structures of British Intelligence.

Agim Ceku was the new Prime Minister in Kosovo. He asked for assistance from the British Government to develop and run his office. Wilton was selected because of his Whitehall knowledge and Balkans experience. As Ceku’s assistant during the Troika talks with Serbia in 2007, he advised Ceku on international communications, administration and relations. Wilton also served a brief time under Prime Minister Hashim Thaaci. Wilton was present in Kosovo in February 2008 for the country’s independence. He was appointed Head of Policy and Politics in the International Civilian Office. This position allowed him to monitor and advise the Kosovo Government. He was named Deputy Ambassador to the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe’s Presence in Albania in 2013.
