Erskine Barton Childers (11 March 1929-25 August 1996) was a writer, BBC correspondent and United Nations senior civil servant. He was the eldest son of Erskine Hamilton Childers (Ireland's fourth President) and Ruth Ellen Dow Childers. His grandfather, Robert Erskine Childers and grandmother Mary Alden Childers, were both Irish nationalists involved heavily with the negotiation of Irish independence; which ultimately led to his grandfather's execution during the Irish Civil War.
