Born in Johannesburg in 1938, Costas Zaverdinos taught at the University of Natal in South Africa. He received a Bachelor of Science degree from Rhodes University, followed by a B.Sc. (Honors) degree in Applied Mathematics from the University of the Witwatersrand (Johannesburg). In 1965 he earned a M.Sc. degree from the University of Natal in Durban. During a three year period in Greece, he held a teaching post at the Athens Technical University.
Since 1970, he has been with the University of Natal (Pietermartizburg), which awarded him a Ph.D. in mathematics in 1984 for his specialized study of "combinatorics," a field related to computer science. He is currently a senior lecturer with the University's department of Mathematics and Applied Mathematics of the Faculty of Science. He is the author of several papers in internationally recognized scholarly journals.
Dr. Zaverdinos has long had a serious interest in the ancient world. In 1989, he obtained a B.A. (Honors) degree cum laude in ancient Greek studies, specializing in Socrates and Heraclitus. Since the late 1970s, he has been keenly interested in Second World War history, and since 1986 has been an avid reader of revisionist publications. Since 1997 until 2002, he has been a member of the Editorial Advisory Committee of The Journal of Historical Review.
