About Elie Kedourie
- Elie Kedourie (25 January 1926 – 29 June 1992, Washington) was a British historian of the Middle East.
- He wrote from a conservative perspective, dissenting from many points of view taken as orthodox in the field.
- He was employed at the London School of Economics (LSE) from 1953 to 1990, becoming Professor of Politics.
- Kedourie was famous for his rejection of what he called the "Chatham House version" of history, which viewed the story of the modern Middle East as one of continuous victimisation at the hands of the West, and instead castigated left-wing Western intellectuals for what he regarded as a naively romantic view of Islam.
