Christopher Hibbert (born Arthur Raymond Hibbert) MC (5 March 1924-21 December 2008), was an English author, historian and biographer. He has been called "a pearl of biographers" and "probably the most widely-read popular historian of our time and undoubtedly one of the most prolific". During World War II, Hibbert served as an infantry officer in the London Irish Rifles regiment in Italy, reaching the rank of captain. He was wounded twice and awarded the Military Cross in 1945. Hibbert was awarded the Heinemann Award for Literature in 1962 for The Destruction of Lord Raglan, and the McColvin Medal of the Library Association in 1989. Hibbert was a Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature and the author of many books, including Wolfe at Quebec, The Story of England, Disraeli, Edward VII, The Rise and Fall of the House of Medici, and Cavaliers and Roundheads. Derived from a Kirkus review: The history of Wolfe and Montcalm, opposing generals upon the Plains of Abraham, is the traditionally attractive one of two heroic young generals dying with honor for their countries, sharing their finest hour, as the British drive the French from Canada in 1759. Christopher Hibbert here makes use of only recently available letters and diaries to present an updated picture. Hibbert shows us a Wolfe who was so fanatically brave and dedicated to the cause of British arms and the military ideal that he became the youngest general in the army. According to the evidence here presented, only through the fantastic inefficiency and venality of the French governor, who was able to block the competent and attractive Montcalm at every turn, and the very probable treachery of the French themselves, was a British victory possible at all. The account of the campaign is fascinating, and Hibbert's scholarship is vast. Several maps keep descriptions of positions and battles clear.
