I know, I know, it’s been 8 months since our last podcast. If you want to skip the preamble between David and Cameron and get straight to the interview, it starts about 20 minutes in. The wonderful new 800-page biography by Andrew Roberts “Napoleon The Great”, we reply.Īndrew joined us from NYC to explain how he manages to both be British *and* a fan of Napoleon why Napoleon was a funny dude who cracked jokes even while on the battlefield why Napoleon wasn’t the evil warmonger he’s often portrayed as by the British why his marriage to Josephine wasn’t Romeo & Juliette and what his biggest mistake was.Īndrew’s book has recently been awarded the Grand Prix prize by the Fondation Napoleon and as of this Saturday will be listed in the NY Times bestseller lists (which, as you can probably guess, doesn’t happen with Napoleonic books very often). And what brought the show out of retirement, we hear you ask? David Markham – yes, he’s an actual KNIGHT now (see photo below) – and Cameron Reilly are back with a brand new episode. After a break of 3.5 years, WE’RE BACK, BABY!
