Tune into History Happy Hour on our YouTube channel this Sunday> Tune into History Happy Hour on our Facebook page this Sunday> Email questions you would like to see us discuss to It promises to be a most Churchillian History Happy Hour live cast! #Churchill #WWII #history #cocktails Viewers are urged to pose questions to Roberts and his hosts. The New York Times calls Roberts’ 2018 book, Churchill: Walking with Destiny, “The best single-volume biography of Churchill yet written.” It is among nineteen works he has written or edited. Chris and Rick will invite Roberts to dig into details not only of the impact of May 10, 1940, but also of the ups and downs that prepared Churchill to take on the challenge of thwarting Hitler. This week, Chris and Rick talk to the acclaimed military historian and Winston Churchill biographer Andrew Roberts, exactly 80 years from the day that Churchill became Prime Minister of England. Roberts describes that moment-nine months after Britain declared war on Germany-as “civilization’s most testing hour” and Churchill as “the one indispensable figure” of World War II. It is our wee bit of cabin-fever relief for you. This Sunday at 4pm EDT, co-host historians Christopher Anderson in London and Rick Beyer in Chicago will be back with another History Happy Hour, a livestream on the Stephen Ambrose Historical Tours Facebook page and YouTube channel. One of the best parts of going on a Stephen Ambrose Historical Tour is crowding into the bar at happy hour to discuss the places you have been and kibbitz about various history topics.
