Described as a profound and prolific writer who made important contributions as both a public and academic historian, Herbert Butterfield (1900-1979) is portrayed in this biography as having profoundly shaped American and European historiography by highlighting the distortions that occur when historians interpret the past merely as steps along the way toward the glorious present.
