United Kingdom

Niall Ferguson PhD -

is a well-known and widely published British historian of modern imperialism. He is the Laurence A. Tisch Professor of History at Harvard University, a Senior Research Fellow of Jesus College, Oxford University and a Senior Fellow of the Hoover Institution, Stanford University. He is a specialist in financial and economic history.

Ferguson has earned a reputation as a revisionist. Ferguson's eminence in journalism has led him to be compared to A.J.P. Taylor, though the comparison is not entirely apt: there is a wide gulf between the beliefs and methods of Ferguson and Taylor.
