Dominic Sandbrook Biography

Dominic Sandbrook is one of the most popular and richest Historian who was born on October 2, 1974 in Bridgnorth, England, United Kingdom. In contrast to other historians from in the 60s Sandbrook claims that his period of study was marked by a strong conservativeness and a sense of conformity. His books aim to dispel the myths he believes are that are associated with the time including an era of sexual liberation to the student protests, and he rebuts that “cultural revolution” thesis associated with historians such as Arthur Marwick. Charles Shaar Murray, writing in The Independent, called Sandbrook “the Hoodie Historian” and imagines Sandbrook “slouching into shot, throwing what appears to be signs of gangs in the history department at the University of Sheffield, and declaring to Arthur Marwick, Jonathon Green and others. that “You’re all bitsh nuh.'”

As of 2005 Sandbrook was the author of Never Had It So Good The book is an account of Britain through The Suez Crisis to The Beatles 1956-1963. The book was described as an “rich treasure chest of a book” by Anthony Howard in The Daily Telegraph and he wrote about the author’s “respect for the sweep and scope of the author’s knowledge”. Nick Cohen wrote in The Observer that it was “a tribute to Sandbrook’s literary skill that his scholarship is never oppressive. Alternately delightful and enlightening, he has produced a book which must have been an enormous labour to write but is a treat to read”.

Sandbrook continued the history of postwar Britain with State of Emergency (2010), covering the period 1970–1974, and Seasons in the Sun, which took the story up to the election of Margaret Thatcher as prime minister in 1979. A fifth volume, Who Dares Wins, covering the period 1979–1982, was published in October 2019. Anthony Quinn, reviewing for The Observer, described it as a “long, painstaking and pretty enjoyable haul through Britain in the first three years of the Thatcher government… ungratifyingly even-handed in his portrait of [Thatcher], alive to the flaws in her character and sharp in confounding the popular myths.” For The Sunday Times, Piers Brendon said it was “a rich mixture of political narrative and social reportage… scholarly, accessible, well written, witty and incisive.”

In February 2011, Michael C. Moynihan identified several instances of apparent plagiarism in Sandbrook’s book Mad as Hell. Moynihan later expressed amazement that there were few repercussions for Sandbrook’s career. He suggested that Sandbrook was shielded from criticism by his social connections, saying: “There is an element of protection. Media buddies who go to the same dinner parties and all the rest of it.”

Sandbrook’s debut book which was a biography of American campaigner and politician Eugene McCarthy, proved extremely controversial upon its release within the United States in 2004. The book was written for H-Net the inter- disciplinary forum for scholars of the social sciences and humanities, David Stebenne said the book “describes McCarthy’s life and work with outstanding grace and clarity” and is “a very fine study of a significant figure that serious students of American postwar history will want to consult.” McCarthy himself referred to the book as “almost libellous”.
