description: "Alan John Percivale Taylor was an English historian who specialised in 19th- and 20th-century European diplomacy. Both a journalist and a broadcaster, he became well known to millions through his television lectures. His combination of academic rigour and popular appeal led the historian Richard Overy to describe him as \"the Macaulay of our age\". In a 2011 poll by History Today magazine, he was named the fourth most important historian of the previous 60 years."
