It was a surprise to find Simon Heffer writing in the NS, but as I'd read most of the books he mentioned I read and enjoyed the article very much:

I particularly liked the put down of Max Hastings as being someone who writes about the past rather than being a historian.
All it needs to turn it into an exam question is inverted commas and the dreaded word "Discuss".
