Robin Hunter Neillands (3 December 1935 – 30 January 2006) was a British writer, born in Glasgow, who specialized in travel and military history.
His 20th-century military histories are very readable, containing rigorous detail as well as many first-hand recollections of veterans - they can be considered both academic and popular.
He was keen to expose revisionist 'myths' about World War II, many of which he perceived to have originated in America, in particular the denigration of Bernard Montgomery and British/Canadian forces in Normandy in 1944.
Furthermore, his formidable book The Bomber War rejected accusations that the Allied bombing campaign was unnecessarily excessive, and he also expressed criticism of the execution of the 1942 Dieppe Raid.
He was nominated for the Royal United Services Institute/ Duke of Westminster's gold medal for Military Literature, for his book The Bomber War.
