Black and white prints of Winston Churchill are laid out from the vast collection of historic photographs stored in the Hulton Archive in London, England.

Andrew Roberts is one of the world’s greatest living historians and biographers. He has written or edited 19 books, which have been translated into 22 languages. His latest, Churchill: Walking With Destiny, is a thousand-page biography. Professor Roberts is the first biographer granted permission by Queen Elizabeth II to unfettered access to the diaries of her father, King George VI, revealing his personal encounters with Churchill during some of Britain’s darkest hours. He joins Clifford D. May, Foreign Podicy host and FDD president, to discuss the life of the most consequential statesman of the 20th century and his impact on the world of today.
