Other speeches that Andrew Roberts enjoys delivering include Hitler and Churchill (an investigation into the leadership secrets of the two antagonists, and how—despite some superficial similarities—the two men were utterly different in every area that mattered); Churchill and his Detractors (a witty defence of Churchill against revisionist historians, ideological forces on the Right and Left, conspiracy theories in cyberspace, and so on); Magna Carta (an investigation into how a document signed in 1215 still has relevance in our daily lives eight centuries later); Uninvaded Since 1066 (how British history and the British psyche has been affected by the fact that she hasn’t been successfully conquered for 950 years); The Rothschilds (a celebration of the achievements of the greatest banking family of them all); and he also speaks on the Siege of Leningrad, the Battle of Agincourt and the history of the British prime minister’s country house, Chequers.
The contrasting leadership styles of Emperor Napoleon I of the French—demonstrative, charismatic, voluble—with his nemesis at the battle of Waterloo, the Duke of Wellington—undemonstrative, acerbic, buttoned-up—make for an engaging and witty investigation into the very different techniques of leadership that the two men employed both on the battlefield and off. Roberts, the author of the best-selling books Napoleon & Wellington, Waterloo, and Napoleon: The Life demonstrates how the contrasting leadership styles of the two great commanders have continuing relevance today.
The Royal House of Windsor is the story of the triumphs and tribulations of the British royal family from an historian whose book of the same name was part of Lady Antonia Fraser’s history of the monarchy. Having known Princess Diana, and met the Queen, Prince Philip, Prince Charles and Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, the late Queen Mother—who told him what it had been like to be Empress of India—Prince William and Prince Harry, Andrew Roberts concentrates on telling the story of the family from when they adopted the name Windsor in 1917 via the Abdication Crisis right up to the present day. As the royal correspondent for NBC, Dr. Roberts was a familiar face to U.S. audiences numbering 30 million people during the wedding of Prince William to Princess Kate and the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee. He is an avowed monarchist.
Why Hitler Lost takes the audience deep into the dark heart of the Nazi regime and explains how, whenever the best interests of the German Wehrmacht clashed with those of the Nazi party, Hitler always supported the latter. Again and again he put his loathsome Nazi philosophy first, ahead of the actions and decisions that Andrew Roberts believes might have won him the war. Roberts backs up his argument with newly discovered information from senior Nazi figures that appeared in his prize-winning book The Storm of War, which reached #2 on The Sunday Times bestseller list and of which Timothy Snyder wrote in The New York Times Book Review: “Splendid history. A brilliantly clear and accessible account of the war in all its theaters. Roberts’s descriptions of soldiers and officers are masterly and humane, and his battlefield set pieces are as gripping as any I have read.”
The Israeli Miracle is an impassioned defence of the right of the State of Israel to exist, and a celebration of what it has achieved in the two-thirds of a century since its founding. Andrew Roberts is one of the founders of the Friends of Israel Initiative—along with Jose Maria Azvar, President Alejandro Toledo of Peru and Nobel Peace Prize-winner Lord David Trimble—and he delivered The Israeli Miracle at the British House of Commons which went viral, arguing that Israel should be treated the same as any other country of the world, and denouncing the disinvestment and boycott campaigns against her.
The whole experience was fantastic.
