  Andrew Roberts   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
Roberts is also a prolific reviewer who brings to his reviews the same rigor and panache that he brings to his books.
Roberts writes books not for specialists but for the general public, and he is successful enough to be able to subsist as a private rather than a tenured scholar.
Roberts’ masterpiece – possibly the most significant book he will ever write; surely the year’s key historical publication – is an eloquent and wholly persuasive rebuttal to weaselly escapism.

 Amazon.com: Napoleon and Wellington: Books: Andrew Roberts   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
Roberts highlights that Wellington was primarily a military leader who saw himself as an agent of the British Governemnt; Napoleon's perspective was that of a head of state in pursuit of his own vision of glory, for which his leadership of the French Armies was a means to an end.
Andrew Davis' main thrust his this: the commonly accepted historical view of these two men, Napoleon and Wellington, and the battle of Waterloo, is that Napoleon seriously underestimated Wellington's ability as a general was therefore caught by surprise by Wellington's fine generalship on the day of battle.
Andrew Roberts gives several examples of Napoleon's written and spoken statements about Wellington before the battle, and none of them are very substantial or enthusiastic.

 Roberts' Rope-A-Dope - CBS News
Roberts did a relentlessly successful job of rope-a-doping his Committee adversaries into frustration and exasperation while at the same time using his Committee allies to show off his penchant for talking down the role of judges in our society.
Roberts in this way effectively scratched so many surfaces of so many important issues without actually answering anything on the merits that he’ll probably have to file his nails before he takes the bench next month.
To Democrats on the panel, Roberts dodged and weaved and bobbed and then fell back, when cornered, on the nobly-stated, easily-sound-byted (and overtly cowardly) line that a nominee shouldn’t answer questions about specific cases or issues that may come before the Court.

 EducationGuardian.co.uk | Arts & Humanities | Churchill sequel provides epic task for author
Historian Andrew Roberts has taken on the daunting task of picking up where Churchill's narrative left off, at the dawn of the 20th century.
Roberts, a leading right-wing historian, is likely to be upbeat about the roles of Britain and America in the world.
Andrew is well suited because he has a strong authorial voice and he's the last historian who shares Churchill's view of the English-speaking peoples.

 Andrew Roberts Projects - About Aviva   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
For Dee’s solo voyage, Andrew Roberts and his team had just eight weeks to transform a yacht that had been specifically designed to keep a crew of 18 people on their toes to a boat that Dee could handle alone, and would be reliable throughout a non-stop circumnavigation lasting up to six months.
Setting and flying a spinnaker on a heavy displacement yacht can be tricky, even for a crew, so Andrew and his team added a carbon fibre bowsprit on which a big reacher and an asymmetric spinnaker could be set.
Two independent and completely interchangeable hydraulic autopilots were fitted and there were a plethora of other developments and design alterations, from simple practicalities such as a bunk near the navigation table to special gimbaled cookers.

 Andrew Roberts
Andrew Roberts brilliantly reveals what made the English-speaking people the preeminent political culture since 1900, and how they have defended their primacy from the many assaults upon them.
What connects those countries where the majority of the population speaks English as a first language—the United States, Great Britain, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, the West Indies, and Ireland—is far greater than what separates them, and the development of their history since 1900 has been a phenomenal success story.
Andrew Roberts writes: “As the first rays of sunlight broke over the Chatham Island, 360 miles east of New Zealand in the South Pacific, a little before 6:00am on Tuesday, January 1, 1901, the world entered a century that for all its warfare and perils would nonetheless mark the triumph of the English-speaking peoples.

 Amazon.co.uk: Hitler and Churchill: Secrets of Leadership: Books: Andrew Roberts   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
This intriguing question is the subject of Andrew Roberts' Hitler and Churchill: Secrets of Leadership, published to tie in with the television series of the same name.
Roberts, the author of the prize-winning Salisbury: Victorian Titan and, more recently, the highly acclaimed Napoleon and Wellington, sets out to identify the ingredients of successful leadership in peacetime and wartime.
Roberts does provide some new information on Churchill's use of secret intelligence, but otherwise this is familiar fare--a tale certainly worth being told again, but perhaps not deserving the great puff on the dust jacket.

 The Westminster Bookshop > Napoleon and Wellington by Andrew Roberts
Andrew Roberts presents an original, highly revisionist view of the relationship between the two greatest captains of their age.
Napoleon, who was born in the same year as Wellington - 1769 - fought Wellington by proxy years earlier in the Peninsula War, praising his ruthlessness in private while publicly deriding him as a mere 'sepoy general'.
The constantly changing relationship between these two nineteenth-century giants forms the basis of Andrew Roberts' compelling study in pride, rivalry, propaganda, nostalgia, and posthumous revenge.

 Foreign Affairs - Book Review - Eminent Churchillians - Andrew Roberts   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
A daily guide to the most influential analysis from the Council on Foreign Relations, publisher of Foreign Affairs.
Under a title that evokes Lytton Strachey, a young conservative British historian submits Churchill's political contemporaries to the kind of debunking Strachey initiated and present-day British writers seem to adore.
The title is partly misleading: many of the people Roberts exposes were enemies of Churchill, appeasers who remained hostile to him or rallied only grudgingly in order to save their reputations.
