Giles MacDonogh
Edit ProfileCareer
MacDonogh has worked as a journalist, most notably for the Financial Times (1988–2003), where he covered food, drink and a variety of other subjects. He has also contributed to most of the other important British newspapers, and is a regular contributor to The Times. As an historian, MacDonogh concentrates on central Europe, principally Germany.
He later carried out historical research at the École pratique des hautes études in Paris.
MacDonogh is the author of fourteen books, chiefly about German history. He has also written about gastronomy and wine.
His books have been translated into French, Italian, Bulgarian, German, Chinese, Slovakian, Spanish, Russian and Polish. Reviewing 1938: Hitler’s Gamble in Spectator Magazine, Graham Stewart said: "Giles MacDonogh has repeatedly shown himself to be in the front rank of British scholars of German history.
The depth of his human understanding, the judiciousness of his pickings from source material and the quality of his writing make this book at once gripping and grave."
His latest book is The Great Battles (2010).
