And so, I think the obvious question, maybe on both sides of the Atlantic is, why 700 pages on George III? And we've talked about all kinds of things over the years, in terms of the course of Western history, the English-speaking peoples, Winston Churchill, and Napoleon, but now we're talking about George III. And as I will simply repeat my pledge, the next time you write a book, we'll be right in line to talk about that one. Andrew Roberts, welcome to Thinking in Public. And that book is the topic of our conversation today.

His most recent biography, The Last King of America: The Misunderstood Reign of George III, is no exception to this rule. His books not only tell a story, but teach us about leadership at some of the most crucial junctures in world history. He's known around the world for his best-selling biographies on Napoleon Bonaparte, Winston Churchill, and his histories on World War II and the Waterloo Campaign.

A graduate of Cambridge University, Professor Robert serves as the Roger and Martha Visiting Fellow at the Hoover Institution at Stanford University, and is also a Visiting Professor at the War Studies Department at King's College in London. Andrew Roberts is one of the most consequential biographers and historians in the English-speaking world today. I'm Albert Mohler, your host and President of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, Kentucky. This is Thinking in Public, a program dedicated to intelligent conversation about frontline theological and cultural issues with the people who are shaping them.
