The Secrets of Statecraft

Straight gangster talk! Andrew Roberts is a brilliant historian. Fascinating interviews.

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

Andrew Roberts is one of the greatest historians and authors of the English-speaking world. What a treat and privilege to hear him speak with statesmen,generals and authors on myriad topics and questions. His talks are always lucid and full of original analysis and bon mots. You should make time for this show; I do. I listen via my phone wherever I am or via Spotify..I save all the shows on Spotify so I can listen to them again or copy references to new books,articles or authors.

Great interview as always; however, it’s a real shame that Lord Roberts didn’t press O’Brien on his opinion of Trump’s behavior on and since the January 6th riot. Does this “patriot” think that Trump is fit for office? Does he think that Trump is a threat to America’s democracy? If you listened to O’Brien, you’d think that he worked for Dwight D. Eisenhower!
