I think she is the most engaging historian today on 20th century Europe

I agree. She also looks frisky.

I think she is fantastic, but I am a biased Canadian.

she is a very ignorant irrational "talker" , typical of british who are living in a propaganda bubble and whose scholarship is as much of a joke as british military

Beaverbrook was not an American politician, but a Canadian financier and British politician - Margaret MacMillan seemed a bit off here.

Yes. He served in the wartime government for a time as a minister under Churchill

Stalin did not disappear for 2 weeks with a bottle of vodka! "During the first few days of the war, there was no strong central control, although contrary to later criticisms Stalin did not have a breakdown. Instead, he conferred constantly with his subordinates, making as many as twenty significant decisions on 22 June alone" (When Titans Clashed - How the Red Army Stopped Hitler - David M. Glantz, Jonathan M. House)

Correctly quoted. There is a lot of nonsense written about the first few days after the commencement of Op. Barbarossa especially about the complete vacuum in Soviet leadership. Improperly informed opinions are dished out as historical fact. David Glantz is one person who has tried to set the record right. The study of Soviet / Russian archives, which means primary research, has him to do that. Stalin perhaps felt betrayed, although even that is disputable. To him none in the West was trustworthy. As for vodka, he was rather sparing in imbibing it normally except on occasions. Do have a pleasant day.

Churchill was most certainly a drunk but still managed to function pretty damn well.

Don’t normally find female academics very inspiring, but she never fails to force me to temporarily question my misogyny. Stunningly good lecture, as always.

its a very ignorant irrational lecture and it is so not because she is female but because she is british who are living in a propaganda bubble and whose scholarship is as much of a joke as british military
