Ford Evening Book Talk: Andrew Roberts

The last king of America, George III, has been ridiculed as a complete disaster who frittered away the colonies and went mad in his old age. The truth is much more nuanced and fascinating-and will completely change the way readers and historians view his reign and legacy.
Mount Vernon welcomes author Andrew Roberts to discuss his new book The Last King of America: The Misunderstood Reign of George III.

When one learns about George III and George Washington it is amazing how many common interests they both had across a variety of topics.

Roberts' conclusion chapter...wow...reminds me of the moment decades ago when I accepted the perfectly reasonable Loyalist view that could have saved future generations from massive bloodshed.
