Born 22 September 1915, Finer was the third son of poor Bessarabian Jewish parents who had emigrated to the United Kingdom, and who ran a greengrocer's stall at Chapel Street market, Islington. His parents were killed in London in January 1945 by V-2 rockets. One of his brothers, Herman, was also a distinguished political scientist. Although Herman emigrated to the USA, his achievement was, according to Finer, an early source of inspiration. Finer went to Holloway School, where he won a scholarship to Trinity College, Oxford. He obtained a double first in modern history and modern Greats. After this, he began researching Sir Edwin Chadwick, a Benthamite civil servant. During World War II he served in the Royal Signals, where he attained the rank of captain.
