Who was C. L. Mowat?
Charles Loch Mowat was a British-born American historian.
Mowat was educated at Marlborough College and St John's, Oxford. In 1934 he went to live in the United States, where he became an American citizen. He did his PhD at the University of Minnesota and taught at the University of California and the University of Chicago. His opposition to McCarthyism led to him being dismissed from Chicago and so he returned to Britain to be professor of history at the University of Bangor from 1958 to 1970.
He is most known for his book on Britain Between the Wars, which became the standard text on the nation's interwar period.
