The popular people’s historian who has influenced our understanding of the previous three centuries like no other.

The fact is that no other living historian [before Hobsbawm's death in 2012] of whatever political affiliation has the intellectual firepower the range and depth of knowledge, the analytical skill.
NIALL FERGUSON, THE SUNDAY TELEGRAPH
No historian can match his overwhelming command of fact and source. . . . Hobsbawm’s gift for startling, often seductive generalizations from his material has only grown.
