After service in the U.S. Navy as an aerologist aboard the aircraft carrier U.S.S. "Ranger" (CVA-61) during the Vietnam War, and following California community and state college, he worked as a newspaper reporter. A magazine career included time as an editor at "New West" and "California Magazine", and bylines in publications such as "Esquire", "Playboy" and "Reader's Digest". One of his first books, "And the Sea Will Tell", written with Charles Manson prosecutor Vincent Bugliosi, was a #1 New York "Times" hardcover bestseller and highly-rated CBS miniseries in 1991. [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0101345/] "The book succeeds on all counts," reported the "Los Angeles Times". "The final pages are some of the most suspenseful in trial literature." [http://www.amazon.com/Sea-Will-Tell-Vincent-Bugliosi/dp/0804109176] Henderson co-authored the autobiography of brother vintners Ernest Gallo and Julio Gallo, as well as "Leap of Faith: An Astronaut's Journey into the Unknown", the memoirs of one of the original Mercury Seven astronauts, Gordon Cooper. Henderson's 2005 book, "True North: Peary, Cook, and The Race to the Pole", examined the ongoing controversy as to which explorer reached the North Pole first: Robert Peary in 1909 or Frederick Cook in 1908. "Publishers Weekly" commented: "This adventure yarn delivers as both a cautionary tale and a fitting memorial to polar exploration."
