My Take

I deeply admire Christopher Andrew for taking the shadowy world of espionage and dragging it into serious scholarship. Born in 1941 and shaped by Corpus Christi College, Cambridge, he built a career as an emeritus professor of modern history with a rare specialty: the history of intelligence services. That is painstaking, archive-grinding work, and his Fellowship of the Royal Historical Society is well earned. Flashy popular historians are everywhere, but I reserve my respect for the patient researchers who illuminate the hidden corners of statecraft. His is quiet, unglamorous, and genuinely important work, and the field is richer for it.

Overview

Christopher Maurice Andrew (born 23 July 1941) is an Emeritus Professor of Modern and Contemporary History at the University of Cambridge with an interest in international relations and in particular the history of intelligence services.
