Lord Andrew Roberts is a prominent British historian, author, and broadcaster. He is particularly renowned for his works on military history and biographies of significant historical figures. Roberts has established himself as a leading authority on British and European history.
Roberts was awarded a life peerage in 2020, taking the title Baron Roberts of Belgravia, reflecting his contributions to the field of history and his influence on public understanding of historical events. He continues to be an influential voice in historical scholarship and public discourse.
One of his most acclaimed works is "Napoleon the Great" (published in the United States as "Napoleon: A Life"), a biography of Napoleon Bonaparte that won the Grand Prix of the Fondation Napoléon in 2014 and was shortlisted for the Samuel Johnson Prize. The book is praised for its depth of research and balanced portrayal of one of history's most complex figures.

Additional Speeches by Dr. Roberts
Other speeches that Andrew Roberts enjoys delivering include Hitler and Churchill (an investigation into the leadership secrets of the two antagonists, and how—despite some superficial similarities—the two men were utterly different in every area that mattered); Churchill and his Detractors (a witty defence of Churchill against revisionist historians, ideological forces on the Right and Left, conspiracy theories in cyberspace, and so on); Magna Carta (an investigation into how a document signed in 1215 still has relevance in our daily lives eight centuries later); Uninvaded Since 1066 (how British history and the British psyche has been affected by the fact that she hasn’t been successfully conquered for 950 years); The Rothschilds (a celebration of the achievements of the greatest banking family of them all); and he also speaks on the Siege of Leningrad, the Battle of Agincourt and the history of the British prime minister’s country house, Chequers.

The Leadership Secrets of Napoleon and Wellington
The contrasting leadership styles of Emperor Napoleon I of the French—demonstrative, charismatic, voluble—with his nemesis at the battle of Waterloo, the Duke of Wellington—undemonstrative, acerbic, buttoned-up—make for an engaging and witty investigation into the very different techniques of leadership that the two men employed both on the battlefield and off. Roberts, the author of the best-selling books Napoleon & Wellington, Waterloo, and Napoleon: The Life demonstrates how the contrasting leadership styles of the two great commanders have continuing relevance today.
