One of the notable points that could be made about Robert Service is that he is far from lacking ideological fervour, nor is he widely regarded as dispassionate. This really shouldn't be here. Tdgtdg 21:47, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

When he taught at SSEES, it was not a part of Univ. College, London but a separate constituent college of the federal University of London, in the same fashion as SOAS. Univ. took over/rescued/gutted* SSEES after his period of tenure there. This should be amended. Btw I never found his lectures to be partisan in the slightest but rich in their considered detail. He's very good at the recreation of a zeitgeist at a particular time rather than being a slave to system Jatrius 14:58, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
