Sir Martin Gilbert, the official biographer of Winston Churchill and a prominent historian of the Twentieth Century, dedicated his life to exploring “true history” through his extensive body of work, which includes 88 books. Born in London in 1936, he was educated at Highgate School and Magdalen College, Oxford, where he graduated with First Class Honours. His academic journey led him to become a Research Scholar at St Anthony's College and a Fellow of Merton College, Oxford. After serving as a researcher for Randolph Churchill, Gilbert took the helm of the Churchill biography project following Randolph's death in 1968, ultimately writing six of the eight volumes and editing twelve volumes of documents. His influential works cover a range of topics, including the First and Second World Wars, the Holocaust, and Jewish history. Driven by a commitment to authenticity, Gilbert meticulously sourced archives, corresponded with eyewitnesses, and curated illustrations and maps to enhance the historical narrative. He traveled extensively for research and lectures, providing a voice to those who lived through pivotal moments in history.
