'Alan Palmer writes the sort of history that dons did before 'accessible' became an insult. It is cool, rational, scholarly, literate'.

Sir John Keegan.

'Alan Palmer...... made it clear that history is not a finished book......an immutable science of the known and understood but a living and expanding world of discovery. He turned even the dullest corners of diplomatic history into a detective story'

Sir Martin Gilbert (Former pupil of Alan Palmer)

Recent publication:

'The Wireless in the Corner'. This is a personalised history of the years 1926 to 1945 as witnessed by me during a childhood in which I was precociously fascinated by events in Europe. It is based on diary jottings, newspaper cuttings as well as published books to provide a social and political survey of the 1930s and the war years up to VE Day in detail. The book was published by Troubadour in April 2017 and is available from Troubador Books
