Neil Sanghvi

Taking his undergraduate and masters in history at King’s College London, Neil Sanghvi completed his doctoral studies in history at the University of Oxford. He joined the university’s Officer Training Corps to assist him in his research on the history of the British Army. He is a keen horseman and historical reenactor, specialising in the light cavalry of Napoleonic France.

Disappointed by the limited range of material translated into English, he began reading historical French as an undergraduate. As his academic training progressed, he acquired sufficient language skills and contextual knowledge to translate French historical texts to a high standard.
