    Dominic Sandbrook

    Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Dominic Sandbrook (born 1974) is a British historian and writer. Born in Bridgnorth, Shropshire, he was educated at Malvern College and studied at Balliol College, Oxford, the University of St Andrews and Jesus College, Cambridge. Previously a lecturer in history at the University of Sheffield, he has been a senior fellow of the Rothermere American Institute at Oxford University and a member of its history faculty, and is now a freelance writer and newspaper columnist. In 2007 he was named one of Waterstone's 25 Authors for the Future. Sandbrook's first book, a biography of the American politician and presidential candidate Eugene McCarthy, proved extremely controversial on its release in the United States in 2004. The book was described by Louis Menand in The New Yorker as "intelligent and well written" but "unremittingly unsympathetic" toward its subject. McCarthy himself called the book "almost libellous".
