12 ratings 4 reviews
This biography of the great historian fills in the considerable gaps left by Taylor's autobiography, in particular the details of his turbulent personal life and three marriages, and traces his intellectual development from young hardline Marxist to sceptical "TV historian", who preached that history teaches us nothing.
