Customer Reviews
All of Andrew Roberts Interviews are fascinating
I’ve listen to all of Mr. Robert’s interviews and ALL are interesting and incredibly fascinating. Of course, I’ve read many of his books and looking forward to his biography on Disraeli. The counter factuals, the books people have read or are reading and their interest in history. All fascinating. I appreciate everything he’s done. Keep up the good works. It’s continues to be fascinating. Every interview is interesting. Keep up the good work. Robert’s interviews are the best. He interviews very interesting people. People we all would like to meet but never will. It’s as close as we mortals will ever get to hearing the great minds of the day. And how history influenced them. Roberts is rekindling a fascination with history. I think he will be successful.
The last two interviews with Pottinger and Gross were really timely and interesting.
It really shows why one should have educated people as diplomats and not political hacks in foreign affairs
