Description

When they met in 1947, Trevor-Roper, a young historian at Christ Church Oxford, was 33. Berenson, the world-famous art critic, was 82, frail but still intensely curious about the world. Trevor-Roper promised to write to him and his letters continued until Berenson's death in 1959. Elegantly constructed, beautifully and precisely written, they are shot through with high-octane malice, sharp judgements, blistering comments and many wonderfully funny episodes. Superbly readable and revealing letters from a master historian, covering people such as Evelyn Waugh and Anthony Eden.

In 1945 he was sent to investigate the evidence for Hitler's death and in 1947 published his most famous book, THE LAST DAYS OF HITLER. He taught history at Christ Church from 1946 until 1957 when Harold Macmillan appointed him Regius Professor of Modern History at Oxford. He became Lord Dacre of Glanton in 1979 and died in January 2003. Previous titles: None.
