    Lord Roberts is always such a joy to listen to. Intellectually stimulating, clear and concise. Tim, you have upped your research considerably, good questions and honest probing.

    Good interview. Tim’s curiosity and humor are terrific. As one who has interviewed over 200 authors I was disappointed that Tim had not read any of Andrew’s big books.

    Impressed by your branching out to other thought provoking topics for great discussion. Appreciate your honesty on lack of deep knowledge on Napoleon - I realized the same about myself after recently reading The Count of Monte Cristo. I have been enjoying learning more about him since - brilliant, so fiercely determined!

    Good evening Tim and Andrew
    Fantastic shared conversation.
    My Dad, simply my best History teacher ever. His story telling talents made learning memorable with meaning. Story short.
    He has for sure left me with a great deal of Love Wisdom and Wit.
    'My Way' a piece of music very dear to me and more so very recently, his very last life lesson through music and lyrics, I like to think.
    This verse in particular speaks to my wee self daily right now.
    'What is a man what has he got if not himself then he has naught
    To say the words of one who feels
    And not the words of one who kneels
    Let the record show
    I took the blows
    And did it my way.' Great piece on the whole.
    History lessons even in music my would say. Written beautifully within our musical culture, timeless really.
    We need to re learn our History and more.
    Anyways thank you both for this today.
    Super grateful.
    💜

    Some feedback on the Audio:
    The Noisegate seems to be a bit too sensitive, often it cuts the audio quite harsh which makes it hard to listen on headphones
    Great interview!

    I think this dude is completely right about finding the light in these historical figures in leadership. However, I feel in my heart things like reparations and actions based on compassion to heal wounds of the oppressed (to put it lightly) is vital. It is completely understandable why folks would want to tear down these statues.There is deep pain.

    • @MrVito1180
      @MrVito1180 2 месяца назад +3

      My dear if you go down the road of reparations there is no person in the world that wouldn’t be giving and receiving money. The story of mankind is one group of people doing something atrocious to another group of people, over and over and over again.

    Drinking. I think drinking was the most favored habit of Churchill. Even ignoring that, it's hard to imagine a more unscrupulous person to emulate.
