R. A. C. Parker

R. A. C. Parker

Robert Alexander Clarke Parker (Barnsley, Yorkshire, 15 June, 1927 - 23 April, 2001) was a British historian, specialising in British appeasement of Nazi Germany and the Second World War. Fellow historian Kenneth O. Morgan called him "perhaps the leading authority on the international crises of the 1930s, appeasement and the coming of war". [Kenneth O Morgan, 'Alastair Parker', "The Guardian", 25 April, 2001.]

At the University of Manchester Parker was lecturer in History from 1952 to 1957 and was then a Fellow in Modern History at The Queen's College, Oxford until 1994. Parker was an admirer of Winston Churchill and held Old Labour views.
