Don't read much history or concern myself with it much anymore. But guess Stephen Kotkin is one I'd still read.

Going to throw a curve-- fave literary journalist: A.J. Liebling, who should be the recipient of all kinds of love here, but is scarcely mentioned. Fave pseudo-autobiographer in the Proustian tradition? Fred Exley, although Knausgaard is attempting to give him 'a run for his money' right now, as we speak. 20th c. Historian? That's tough. But I'm going with Huizinga over Tuchmannnnn
