Peter Partner

Peter David Partner (15 July 1924 – 17 January 2015) was a British historian, particularly of medieval Rome and the Middle East.[1]

Life

Peter Partner was born 15 July 1924 to David and Bertha Partridge Partner in Little Heath, Hertfordshire. His father was with the Metropolitan Police and his mother ran a café in Barnet. During World War II, he served on minesweepers. After the war, he attended Magdalen College, Oxford to read law, but switched to history. In 1953, he married Leila May Fadil (d. 1990), niece of historian Albert Hourani. Partner worked as a journalist for many years with The Observer,[1] writing the lead article the first week of the Suez Crisis. He also wrote for The Economist and broadcast frequently for the BBC on Arab topics.

In 1955, Partner accepted a position to teach history at Winchester College,[1] where he remained for thirty years.

Partner wrote a number of reviews for The New York Review of Books,[2] as well as articles for History Today,[3][4] and the Journal of Ecclesiastical History.[5]

He died on 17 January 2015 at the age of 90.
