The Future of Liberty with Mitch Daniels Lord Andrew Roberts on King George III and the Making of a Revolutionary Narrative
Mar 24, 2026
45:40
Historian Lord Andrew Roberts joins Mitch Daniels to challenge one of America’s most enduring narratives: that King George III was a tyrant. Drawing on his book The Last King of America, Roberts argues for a more complex (and surprising) view of the monarch at the center of the Revolution. The discussion explores constitutional government, the power of political myth, and the lasting significance of the American founding for liberty today.
