Andrew Roberts

The Green Party wants to ease stress with a four-day week. Churchill's methods would handle the problem effectively - and far more economically.

In 1960 General Lord Ismay said that an objective Churchill biography could not be written for fifty years. Andrew Roberts weighs in at year fifty-eight. The delay paid off. Roberts’ book will be “unique even to jaded Churchillians.”

Well-acted with good photography and music, "Churchill" attempts an insight into psychology at a crucial stage of the Second World War. The only problem with the movie is that it gets absolutely everything wrong. Never in the course of movie-making have so many specious errors been made in so long a film by so few writers.

A recent film, Viceroy's House, narrates the story of the massacre in India following its independence and partition. While absolving the man most responsible—Louis Mountbatten—it charged Winston Churchill and his military secretary Hastings Ismay with the deaths of millions.
