Applause for Andrew Roberts! The knowledge he was able to convey so eloquently and in a way that kept me enthralled this entire video! I’d love to hear him speak more on history, not only about the tremendously interesting figure Winston Churchill. Thank you for this fantastic guest! 👏👏👏

[tasticillumi]

Hallelujah. At Triggernometry we don’t pretend to be the experts, we ask the experts. Andrew Roberts clearly is this. So refreshing to listen to. A welcome change.

[kurukulle]

Please can we have more interviews of this calibre? To hear a long form interview with an articulate expert is a rare treat.
I felt nostalgic for my youth when BBC2 could be relied on to broadcast intelligent discussion like this. It says something about Britain today (and the BBC in particular) that we all have to use YouTube to hear civilised and well-evidenced discussion.

[sarahamorris]

So lovely to be hearing an interesting and positive account of this nation’s history and Churchill, one of the greatest Britons of all time. Thank you.

[steveb]

“You have to see people in their own time.” Absolutely right.
As L.P Hartley said in The Go-Between: “The past is a foreign country, they do things differently there”.

[mikesheridan]

Thank you. I'm cycling to Paris in June to commemorate DDAY +80 years. This is a charity ride to raise funds for Help For Heroes. All of the freedoms we have enjoyed since the end of the war are because of the great sacrifice and bravery of the previous generations.

[mayflowerlash]

This is an absolutely outstanding history lesson on WW2. Francis and Konstantin can take great pride in arranging this interview. I'm astonished and disappointed but not surprised by the observation that Britain's students are not educated about WW2. The benefits of living in the West are almost entirely dependant on the courage and bravery of the likes of Churchill and the ordinary Tommy soldier in the field. The younger generation should take a lesson in moral fortitude if they wish to continue to enjoy the benefits of life in the West.

[FraserBailey-jmyz]

I was educated - tolerably well - in the English state system in the 1970s and 80s. I was awarded an A grade in A level history but at no point in the various syllabuses was Churchill mentioned. Despite this, I always knew, and still know, quite a lot about Churchill from my own reading and general knowledge. This probably began with being taken to see the film 'Young Winston' circa 1973.

[ToddSauve]

So much of the problem in modern Western countries is that it is very true that our current leadership just completely lacks that wisdom that historians like Andrew Roberts can lend them. It is embarrassing to see how often our leaders are just plainly stupid, and the products of our appalling "education" system. We dismiss our past at our own peril and are headed for terrible times because of this. 🤷‍♂

[danadan]

Such a fascinating conversation! I can't get enough of listening British historians! And Brits should be so proud of their heritage and contribution to this planet! It's so sad to see what is currently going on with a part of the people...

[alanaadams]

His "Never Surrender " speech is arguably one of the greatest speech of all time

[exptrt]

Roberts is an absolute gentleman scholar. His debate on Intelligence Squared years ago (the one of if Napoleon should be called great) demonstrated Roberts is both an expert speaker, but also equally magnanimous in defeat (he lost the debate). It's an honor to listen and learn from him.

[johnbull]

I could listen to Lord Roberts of Belgravia all day long. Is there a better more articulate and knowledgeable historian? And what a fabulous calming voice too. Tip top interview.

[gordonfrickers]

I'm reminded of "if you don't make mistakes you don't make anything"; which I first heard when learning to build boats and ships.
The trick is, which many people never grasp, is to have the courage to review objectively one's mistakes and learn from them.
Churchill understood this and so makes an excellent role model.

[cndag]

I've read Andrew's book on Churchill. He knows everything there is to know about the great man. Can't wait for this!

[Disabledpatriot]

Thank you for having Andrew Roberts on! The dragging through the mud of Churchill by activists is disgusting. Any sensible person without an agenda knows no one is perfect and judging someone in the past on ‘modern day views’ is stupid. It’s time to bring back the teaching and be unashamed about one of the greatest Britons.

[tadasblindavicius]

«No one pretends that democracy is perfect or all-wise. Indeed it has been said that democracy is the worst form of Government except for all those other forms that have been tried from time to time.…» – Winston S. Churchill, 11 November 1947

[myyoutube]

Staggeringly good interviewee perfectly interviewed with respect, rapt attention and intelligent questioning. A real milestone from Triggernometry which goes from strength to strength as a media organisation.This is something the BBC once would have been proud to produce.

[jwelfare]

Andrew recommended it but I can’t stress enough how good of a book ‘My Early Life’ is by Winston Churchill. One of the most enjoyable reading experiences I’ve ever had. Churchill’s humour and writing style is unmatched.
