"[Chris Wigley's] biography is cautious, understated and rather sombre in tone. It is certainly not the kind of book that Taylor himself would have written. It is, however, excellent. Wrigley's obvious affection for his subject makes his account of Taylor's sadness, and the sadness he inflicted on other people, curiously moving. Wrigley's attention to detail and refusal to engage in polemics with Taylor's critics make his careful and qualified defence of Taylor's work all the more persuasive."Wrigley, C. J. is the author of 'A.J.P. Taylor Radical Historian of Europe' with ISBN 9781860642869 and ISBN 1860642861.
