Well, that's one way, but not what I would choose. A doctorate is no guarantee for anything. I'll give you an example. The best series of books on the US 8th Air Force was not written by someone fitting your criteria but an English farmer (Freeman). The film that best describes the English psyche ( the Remains of the Day) is not the work of an Englishman but an Oriental. I tend to keep the works of strutting academics well away from me.
