I have put up 3 eminent mainstream historians, and add a fourth, Nigel H Jones.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nigel_H._Jones

The Telegraph review of Hastings' book, " his position as Britain's leading military historian is now unassailable."

How are you getting on with your list of dissenting historians Greg?
