The Last King of America: The Misunderstood Reign of George III with Andrew Roberts
Presented in partnership with the New-York Historical Society
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. After combing through thousands of pages of never-before-published correspondence, award-winning historian Andrew Roberts will present a different portrait. The truth is much more nuanced and fascinating — and will change the way readers and historians view his reign and legacy. Roberts, an O’Keeffe Speaker at The Four Arts in 2019, is also the author of Churchill: Walking with Destiny.
