John Keegan Biografía y Hechos
John Desmond Patrick Keegan (Londres, 15 de mayo de 1934 - Kilmington, Wiltshire, 2 de agosto de 2012) fue un historiador militar inglés.[1] Se caracterizó por analizar los hechos militares históricos aplicando la lógica y, a la vez, buscando el lado humano e individual del combatiente. De orientación política neoconservadora, Keegan apoyó las guerras contra Vietnam, Irak y Serbia.[2] Biografía Nació en Clapham, Londres, el 15 de mayo de 1934, en una familia de origen católica irlandesa. Su padre participó en la Primera Guerra Mundial. A la edad de 13 años contrajo tuberculosis ortopédica, que posteriormente afectó su marcha. Los efectos a largo plazo de su tuberculosis le hicieron impropio para el servicio militar, y el momento de su nacimiento lo hizo demasiado joven para el servicio en la Segunda Guerra Mundial, hechos que él mencionó en sus trabajos como una observación irónica sobre su profesión e intereses. La enfermedad también interrumpió su educación durante su adolescencia; Sin embargo, su educación incluyó un período en la universidad de rey, Taunton, y dos años en la universidad de Wimbledon, que condujo a la entrada a la universidad de Balliol, Oxford, en 1953. Después de la graduación él trabajó en la embajada americana en Londres por tres años. En 1960 fue nombrado profesor de Historia Militar en la Real Academia Militar de Sandhurst, el centro de entrenamiento para oficiales del Ejército Británico. Sosteniendo el poste por 26 años, él hizo conferenciante mayor en historia militar durante su mandato. Durante este período también fue profesor visitante en la Universidad de Princeton y fue profesor distinguido de Historia de Delmas en el Vassar College. Abandonó la academia en 1986 y se unió al Daily Telegraph como Corresponsal de Defensa. Permaneció en la publicación como editor de defensa hasta su muerte. También escribió para el sitio web conservador estadounidense National Review Online. En 1998 escribió y presentó las conferencias de Reith de la BBC, tituladas Guerra en nuestro Mundo. Falleció el 2 de agosto de 2012 de causas naturales en su casa en Kilmington, Wiltshire, Inglaterra. Le sobrevivieron su esposa, sus dos hijas y sus dos hijos.
