These are the historians quoted in this discussion.
Richard Holmes, Peter Hart, David Stephenson, Fritz Fischer, Dan Todman, Gary Sheffield, Max Hastings, Malcolm Brown, Stuart Halifax, Catriona Pennel, Margaret MacMillan:

Gary Sheffield is an historian by any description, and he described Hastings as "Britain's leading military historian."

Forget Hastings and my case is still rock-solid.
You still can not find one living historian to support your case.
You are going to have a miserable 4 years as all those historians appear in the media saying just what I said.
