Cyril Northcote Parkinson was born in Barnard Castle, County Durham, England. He was a British naval historian and author of some 60 books, the most famous of which was his best-seller Parkinson's Law, which led him to be also considered as an important scholar in public administration and management. He received a BA degree in 1932. In 1934, then a graduate student at King's College London, he wrote his PhD thesis on Trade and War in the Eastern Seas, 1803–1810, which was awarded the Julian Corbett Prize in Naval History for 1935. The papers formed the basis of his first book, Edward Pellew, Viscount Exmouth, Admiral of the Red.
