The war over history: Churchill, Hitler and the rise of the revisionists
Description
Lord Andrew Roberts, acclaimed Churchill biographer, discusses the alarming rise of Hitler revisionism spreading aggressively through right-leaning podcasts and social media.
The historian examines how and why figures like Darrell Cooper and Tucker Carlson are purposely distorting Second World War history, “relativizing” Nazi crimes, while portraying Churchill as a villain.
Roberts dissects their factual errors, explores why these conspiracy theories now attract tens of millions of viewers, and warns about the erosion of rational historical debate in our Internet age.
