Historians

Over the past seven years, historian and broadcaster, Daniel Snowman has interviewed for "History Today" magazine, a selection of some of the finest historians alive, including Simon Schama, David Starkey, Ian Kershaw, Antonia Fraser and David Cannadine. "Historians" is an anthology of the resulting critical essays on these writers and their work. With contributions from many of the historians themselves, this book provides a revealing insight into how we currently regard the ever-shifting past, filtered through a group of colourful and sometimes controversial characters.
