Christopher J. Walker
Christopher Joseph Walker (10 July 1942 - 18 April 2017) was a British historian and author. He was educated at Lancing College and Brasenose College, Oxford. He worked in Sotheby's department of historical and literary manuscripts. After winning a Winston Churchill Travelling Fellowship in 1971 he wrote a book on Armenian history which was reissued in 1990. In 1975 with the support of "Minority Rights Group" he published "The Armenians" report (co-author - prof. David Marshall Lang). In November 1989 at the Oxford University Walker had a lecture on the modern history of Armenia. He also wrote  several books and articles on history of Armenia. One of his most famous works is the book "Armenia: The Survival of a Nation", which has been described as an "excellent history of Greater Armenia" and "a balanced presentation" of the events during the Armenian genocide of 1895-1918. After a long-time research in archives, in 2003 Walker completed his book, "Life of Oliver Baldwin", about a soldier, statesman, and journalist, the son of a Conservative Prime Minister, who became a Labour member of British Parliament.
