Who Is the Most Important Historian of the Past 60 Years?

History Today turns 60 this year. To mark the occasion, in our forthcoming December issue we ask a number of distinguished historians to choose their favourite works of history produced in the last six decades, and to name the most important historians of the period. Their fascinating replies will be revealed when the issue is published later this month.

However, we're also keen to get the opinions of our readers and followers on the matter. Until Wednesday, 10th November you can nominate the most important historian, and the most significant history book, of the past 60 years. We'll then whittle the nominations down to a shortlist and put it out to a public vote.

The result won't be the definitive statement on the matter, and may differ somewhat from the historians' view, but we hope it will be a stimulating topic of discussion.

You can make your nomination by leaving a comment below, by emailing d.nicholas@historytoday.com, via our Facebook page or on Twitter (@HistoryToday). Nominations will close at 11pm (UK time) on Wednesday 9th November.
