Roger Moorhouse

Roger Moorhouse (born 1968 in , Cheshire) is a British historian and author.

He attended Berkhamsted School and the School of Slavonic and East European Studies of the University of London, graduating with an MA in history and politics in 1994.

Whilst a student, Moorhouse worked as a researcher for Professor Norman Davies, collaborating on many of the latter's best-known publications, including Europe: A History, The Isles: A History and Rising '44 and culminating in the publication in 2002 of a co-authored study of the history of the city of Wrocław (the former German Breslau) entitled Microcosm: Portrait of a Central European City.

In 2006 Moorhouse's first solo book, Killing Hitler, was published, which has since been translated a number of times. In a CNN news report of 3 September 2011, Killing Hitler was shown on Al-Saadi Gaddafi's desk after he had fled his office in the wake of the collapse of the Gaddafi regime in Libya. Reporter Nic Robertson suggested that Saadi Gaddafi had been reading the book prior to his flight.

His next book, Berlin at War, is a social history of Berlin during World War II, which was published in the summer of 2010. Writing in the Financial Times, Andrew Roberts commented that: "Few books on the war genuinely increase the sum of our collective knowledge of this exhaustively covered period, but this one does". "Berlin at War" was listed amongst the books of the year for 2010 by The Daily Telegraph, and American Spectator magazine, among others, and was shortlisted for the Hessell-Tiltman Prize for history.
