This interview is going to be one to watch. Anthony Beevor is an incredibly respected and has written books thick enough to make Tolstoy blush.
I am most glad he felt able to come onto Triggernometry - that academics (even the non-'controversial' ones) are feeling able to engage in this channel meaning the winds truly have shifted. Well done, chaps.

[brysonyoung]

Triggernometry, with guests like Antony Beevor and discussions like this almost single-handedly redeems social media. Thank you.

[philipinwood]

In addition to being a brilliant & captivating historian, Antony is an absolute gem of a human being. He is one of the most genuine, generous, & down to earth people I’ve ever met. Amazing memories living in his house! Best avocado salads & table convo.

[juliegale]

So great to listen to a real historian who really knows his stuff. Thanks Triggernomery.

[MoriaCampbell]

Absolutely love when you have historians on. Thanks 😊

[davidk]

That anyone on the planet with access to the internet can listen to this brilliant
analysis of Anthony Beevor and gain such a profound understanding of this period in Russian history is stunning. As a purveyor of knowledge, YouTube is one of the marvels of humanity.

[lawLess-fsqx]

amazing coup getting Beevor on. His books are the best history books of the last couple of decades. Legendary interview.

[gusleonard]

This is one of my favourite episodes. Could listen to Antony all day.

[lemokemo]

This is amazing! Having this legend on your show is an achievement by itself.

[lobo]

The fact he can rifle off this much information and make it look easy is insane

[NATO-SOCOM]

Triggernometry has very quickly became one of my favorite channels, if not the absolute favorite and I’ve only been aware of it for about a week lol KK and Francis are a great team, they strike a good balance of humor and serious discussion which breaks up the interview and makes it a lot easier to digest imo. I also feel like they balance each other out and ask a broad range of questions that might not get asked if they were doing the interviews alone.

[BibbledyBobbles]

The confusion around the joke of the peasant and the wine… amazing. Konstantin’s tactful sip. 😂

[theodorerobertson]

The state always demands "Celebrate diversity" but there's few things more diverse than the guests we see in TRIGGERnometry . Keep up the good work guys

[WisdomRebellion]

Antony is impressive. He sounds like he's recalling something he's lived through, very impressive to realise he's talking about events that took place well over 100 years ago. Great interview 👍

[SpoonFruit]

That Historian collossae such as Beevor, Ferguson and Victor Davis Hanson are able to feature on Trig is a testament to how far the channel has advanced - a sea change, this is near BBC terrestrial Broadcast quality.

Good Show!

[kelseysmith]

These historical based interviews versus the current now thing interviews are pure gold. Please continue to do both with the excellence you always carry. 🌻

[pbeu]

Sir Beevor is an extraordinary man to listen to... excellent stuff.

[tomasarcher]

I'm reading his book on the revolution, he's brilliant. I've read almost all his books. Great historian.
