As one who enjoyed his books on Britain, am pretty disappointed on reading his tasteless attack disguised as an obituary to Eric Hobsbawm.
Actually am reading his 3rd British history book Our Times, and he also expresses his hatred toward Hobsbawm in p. 28. One can disagree of course, but his attack is so...puerile. Stil should persevere(to finish the book) lol. What I most enjoyed about his British books were literature and arts section anyway, and I am curious about the Modern British history after WWII.
Anyway he is an another example of those conservative 'attack dogs': always vicious and arrogant in their posture and writings.
