Born to an Anglo-Indian family, Oman distinguished himself academically at Oxford, where he later became a fellow and a professor of history. His extensive expertise in military history and medieval warfare is exemplified in his comprehensive work, ‘The Art of War in the Middle Ages: Military History of Europe (378-1515)’, which continues to be an important source for the study of medieval military tactics and strategy. Oman’s historical writings are characterized by a careful analysis of sources and a lively narrative that made complex military maneuvers and the sociology of medieval warfare accessible to both the scholar and the casual reader. His other seminal works, including a seven-volume history of the Peninsular War and studies of the English Civil War, further attest to his eminence as a historian. His contributions to the field of history were recognized by his knighthood in 1920 and his election as a fellow of the British Academy. Oman’s unique combination of rigorous scholarship and engaging prose style cemented his reputation as one of the 20th century’s leading figures in military history.
