Olive Anderson (1927-2016) was professor of history at Westfield College, University of London.[1] She has been noted for her innovative approach to the writing of military history, which concentrated on the political, administrative, and cultural aspects of conflicts rather than strategy or tactics.[2] In 2017, she featured in a conference, London's Women Historians, held at the Institute of Historical Research.[3]
