A fascinating podcast in which the historian Andrew Roberts discusses his new biography of Winston Churchill, (https://audioboom.com/posts/7039259-churchill-andrew-roberts-in-conversation-with-robert-tombs).
While the conversation between Robert Tombs and Roberts is both interesting and witty, I found the questions posed by members of the audience, following on from the discussion rather more illuminating.
While Roberts is by no means uncritical of Churchill he is (as indeed am I) an admirer of the man who played a pivotal role in saving Europe from Nazi tyranny, and we should all be eternally grateful to Churchill for doing so.
I must check this out. I have a collection of Churchill biographies. Also some of Roberts’ other books. He’s an excellent historian.
Thank you for your comment. I haven’t read any of Robert’s books which, having read history and politics at university I am rather ashamed to admit. I also will check out this book and others written by Roberts. Best – Kevin

You are welcome for the share, Robbie. I also am an admirer of Churchill.
