rdf:langString Andrew Roberts, Baron Roberts of Belgravia FRSL FRHistS (born 13 January 1963) is a British historian and journalist originating from London, England. He is a visiting professor at the Department of War Studies, King's College London, a Roger and Martha Mertz Visiting Research Fellow at the Hoover Institution at Stanford University, and a Lehrman Institute Distinguished Lecturer at the New-York Historical Society. He was a trustee of the National Portrait Gallery, London from 2013 to 2021. His historical research has focused mostly on English-speaking nations, particularly those closely socially tied to the United Kingdom such as America. Roberts as an author is well-known internationally for his 2009 non-fiction work The Storm of War, which covers historical factors of the Second World War such as Adolf Hitler's rise to power and the organisation of Nazi Germany. The book has been lauded by several publications, notably including The Economist, and it additionally received the British Army Military Book of the Year Award for 2010. It achieved commercial success, reaching the #2 slot on The Sunday Times best-seller list. Roberts' public commentary has additionally appeared in several periodicals such as The Daily Telegraph and The Spectator. Much of Roberts' later work, including his 2018 biography of Winston Churchill, has been widely praised as well. The Sunday Times called that book "[u]ndoubtedly the best single-volume life of Churchill ever written." Elsewhere, his work has sometimes been criticised. In 2006, The Economist described one book as "a giant political pamphlet larded with its author's prejudices, with sneers at those who do not share them" while also critiquing him for writing "with errors."
