Werner Eugen Emil Mosse (born 5. February 1918 in Berlin; died 30 April 2001) was a German-born British historian specialising in 19th-century European diplomacy and German-Jewish economic history. Fleeing Nazi persecution as a Jewish refugee, he became a prominent scholar of Imperial Russia and the Crimean War. His scholarship is recognised for its critical analysis of Great power politics and international relations.
