ROPER, Hugh Redwald Trevor- (1914-2003). Historian; Baron Dacre of Glanton
Autograph Letter Signed ('Hugh Trevor-Roper') to Jones, on writing paper of the Regius Professor of Modern History, Oxford, 5 January 1973. Suggesting two books that might answer Jones's requirements for an up-to-date history of Europe ('There are many text-book histories, but all that I know are concentrated and dull').

'... W.H. McNeill, The Rise of the West, is by an American and was published in 1963. It is more than a history of Europe: its sub-title is 'A History of the Human Community', and it tries to show how European civilisation prevailed. ...'
