The Dictionary of National Biography 1981-85 by Robert Blake

This volume includes biographies of 380 prominent men and women, mostly British, who died between 1 January 1981 and 31 December 1985. This is the first DNB 20th century supplement to span only five years and is thus intended to be more topical and include more accurate information.
C.S. NICHOLLS was awarded her doctorate by St Antony's College. She was co-editor, then editor of the Dictionary of National Biography 1977-95, producing five volumes, including Missing Persons. She was also editor of the Hutchinson Encyclopaedia of Biography (1996). Her books include The Swahili Coast (1971), Cataract (1985), Power: A Political History of the 20th Century (1990), and David Livingstone (1998).
