Biography
Mark Charles Fissel was born in San José, California, in 1950. He received his baccalaureate degree in history (honors) in 1973 at the University of California at Santa Cruz, studying under Scottish social historian Buchanan Sharp. In 1974 he enrolled in the graduate program at the University of California at Berkeley in order to work under early modernist and legal historian Thomas Garden Barnes. Berkeley awarded him an M.A. in 1976 and the Ph.D. in 1983. He taught at Ball State University from 1983-1998. In 1992 he was a visiting researcher at Harris Manchester College (then Manchester College) at the University of Oxford. From 1995 into 1996 Fissel worked in Istanbul at Boğaziçi Üniversitesi as a senior lecturer on a Fulbright fellowship, which enabled him to become more familiar with the Levant and Near East. The following academic year returned him to Harris Manchester College where he served as Dean. In 1998 he continued his administrative career by becoming associate vice president for academic affairs at Augusta University. He returned to full-time teaching in 2003 and became an emeritus professor of history in 2013.

Scholarship
Fissel was trained as an archival historian, and that methodology is evident in his writings. However, recruited by John Morrill, he contributed to the Royal Historical Society Bibliography of British and Irish History and of the British Overseas (1992–99) — now the online Bibliography of British and Irish History. More recently he authored two additional bibliographical projects, under the editorship of Dennis Showalter and then Kaushik Roy, for the Oxford Bibliographies in Military History. He is a Fellow of the Royal Historical Society and a member of the Società Italiana di Storia Militare.

Personal Life
He is married to Jodi Lynn Noles Fissel, an academic administrator and lecturer in history.
