Edmund Goldrick is an author and historian. After studying at Australian National University went on to work as a political and strategic studies researcher and journalist in the United Kingdom.

An article he wrote on Australian servicemen in Slovenia during World War II led to him co-writing The Greatest Escape with Neil Churches, a groundbreaking account of the most successful organised prison break of the Second World War. A 105-man escape of Australian, British, French, and New Zealander prisoners-of-war from German-occupied Slovenia in 1944.

While researching The Greatest Escape, Edmund discovered accounts by several servicemen who served in as intelligence agents and with resistance movements in Yugoslavia. The subsequent research became Anzac Guerrillas, Edmund's first book.
