Christopher Andrew

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.
