▪ 2000
British historian and politician who was as well known for his acerbic wit, publicly acknowledged marital infidelities, and sensational Diaries (1993) as he was for his 20-year political career and his well-received military and political histories, one of which, The Donkeys (1961), was adapted into a musical satire, Oh! What a Lovely War. Clark, the elder son of renowned art historian Sir Kenneth (later Lord) Clark, was an outspoken, often unorthodox Conservative MP (1974–92; 1997–99) and held several non-Cabinet–level ministerial posts (1983–92) under Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher (b. April 13, 1928, London, Eng.—d. Sept. 5, 1999, Saltwood, Kent, Eng.).
