- Alan Kenneth Mackenzie Clark (13 April 1928 – 5 September 1999) was a British Conservative MP, military historian, and diarist. He served as a junior minister in Margaret Thatcher's governments at the Departments of Employment, Trade, and Defence, and became a privy councillor in 1991. He was the author of several books of military history, including The Donkeys (1961), which became the musical satire, Oh, What a Lovely War!. Clark became known for his flamboyance, wit, and irreverence. Norman Lamont called him "the most politically incorrect, outspoken, iconoclastic and reckless politician of our times. " He is particularly remembered for his three-volume diary, a candid account of political life under Thatcher, and a moving description of the weeks preceding his death, when he continued to write until he could no longer focus on the page. Clark was a passionate supporter of animal rights, joining activists in demonstrations at Dover against live export, and outside the House of Commons in support of Animal Liberation Front hunger-striker Barry Horne. When he died after radiation therapy for a brain tumour, his family said Clark wanted it to be stated that he had "gone to join Tom and the other dogs."
- Alan Clark, född 13 april 1928, död 5 september 1999, var en brittisk politiker och militärhistoriker. Han tillhörde Konservativa partiet, och satt i parlamentet från 1974, med en sista period 1 maj 1997 till sin död 5 september 1999. Clark, som var känd som en färgstark och icke-konformistisk person, är den ende parlamentsledamot som officiellt anklagats för att ha varit full i talarstolen (at the dispatch box). Han är bland annat känd för kommentaren "Vi behöver inga nya jävla idéer". Han skrev utförliga dagböcker under sin tid i parlamentet, som gavs ut som tre volymer, varav två efter hans död, och som låg till grund för en BBC-filmatisering i sex delar år 2004. Han gav 1998 också ut en bok om Konservativa partiets historia under titeln The Tories: Conservatives and the Nation State 1922-1997.
