Professor Ramsden was educated at Oxford University and has taught at

Professor Ramsden has been a visiting professor of history at Westminster

Press. Professor Ramsden currently serves on the Academic Board of the

Churchill Centre, based in Washington, D.C.

Professor Ramsden’s main line of research to date has been in the twenti-

eth-century history of the British Conservative Party, on which he gained an

Oxford doctor of philosophy in 1974. He has written all three twentieth-centu-

ry volumes of the Longman History of the Conservative Party; edited for pub-

lication the political diaries of Sir Robert Sanders, Lord Bayford, 1910-35; and

published with Harper Collins in 1998 An Appetite for Power, a single-volume

history of the Conservatives since 1832.

Professor Ramsden was general editor of the Oxford Companion to

Twentieth Century British Politics and coauthor with Professor Glyn

Williams of Ruling Britannia, a textbook history of Britain since 1688. He

published in 2002 The Dam Busters , a book on the British film of 1955, and

Man of the Century , a book on the postwar image and reputation of

Winston Churchill. Professor Ramsden recently presented a paper about

the personal and professional relationship between Winston Churchill and

Dwight D. Eisenhower entitled “Old and Dear Friends, Old and New Worlds”

at the “Churchill and Three Presidents” symposium held at the Library of

Congress in Washington, D.C.
