Provides a comprehensive examination of the philosophy and evolution of history. This edition includes an account by the author of the critical reception that greeted the book's original publication, and the controversy that it generated.

John Vincent has often been accused of political incorrectness, but never in his writing of history, where his work has been rightly praised for its 'verve, excitement, wit and original thought'. In this sometimes contentious study, Professor Vincent goes to the very heart of the complex issues raised by the subject. "An Intelligent Person's Guide to History" provides a comprehensive examination of the philosophy and evolution of history. This revised paperback edition includes an account by the author of the critical reception that greeted the book's original publication, and the controversy that it generated.

John Vincent has been Professor of History at the University of Bristol since 1970. Among his many influential publications are The Foundation of the Liberal Party (1966), Gladstone and Ireland (1979) and a masterly short biography of Disraeli (1990). He is also widely known as a journalist and controversialist. He lives in Bristol.
