Jesus Barranco is a Spanish writer and forestry engineer from the Canary Islands, Spain, (born November 11th, 1976, in Tenerife).
Education[edit]
He graduated as a forestry engineer in the Polytechnic University of Madrid (UPM) in 2002, and as a wildfire management MSc in the University of Lleida (UdL) in 2015. He is finishing a geography and history degree at the Spanish National Distance Learning University (UNED).
Writing Career[edit]
His first successful book was a wildfire fighting handbook, “Manual de Lucha contra Incendios Forestales”[1]. Distributed in 2018 by Amazon, it became a best seller in Spanish several times.
In 2023 he published “Grandes Liadas de la Historia”[2][3][4] (“Great Mess-ups in History”), a humorous and sarcastic book about various historical disasters, released by Caligrama[5].
After three editions, the book was re-edited and republished by Singularidad [6]in 2024, earning widespread praise:
Also in 2024, he released a recompilation of female warfare episodes named “Grandes Guerreras de la Historia” (“Great Female Warriors in History”)[7], with the same acid and humoristic style. The book is an irreverent romp through the lives of some of women involved in war efforts.
