Ian Colvin

Ian Duncan Colvin (29 September, 1877 – 10 May, 1938) was a British journalist and historian.

From 1909 he was a leader writer for "The Morning Post". In 1915 he published "The Germans in England, 1066–1598" in which he claimed the Hanseatic League tried to control Europe through a mixture of peaceful and violent means. [Panikos Panayi, 'Germans in Britain's History', in Panayi (ed.), "Germans in Britain since 1500" (Hambledon Continuum, 1996), p. 13.]

In 1929 he published his biography of General Reginald Dyer. He also wrote three volumes on the life of the Irish Unionist leader Sir Edward Carson.
