Show Notes

George III--the tyrant of the Declaration of Independence, or the Patriot King?  Join us for a conversation with Andrew Roberts, prolific historian whom Henry Kissinger has called "always relevant to contemporary thinking and contemporary problems," about his new biography, The Last King of America:  The Misunderstood Reign of George III.  Roberts has written biographies of Churchill and Napoleon, and books about the Napoleonic and Second World Wars.  Now hear about the only European monarch to bring his throne through the turmoil of the French Revolution unscathed, and how George III was a patron of the arts and architecture, a collector of books, and man devoted to his family and his country.
