About this episode
“George III was neither oppressive nor to blame for the loss of the American colonies.” Andrew Roberts joins Steven Edginton to discuss his latest biography of England's “most misunderstood” king, why statues should be put into context rather than toppled and why history teachers must leave their own agendas at the door.
