Andrew Roberts: ‘Far From Out of the Woods With Anti-Semitism in Britain’ | ‘Top Story,’ Ep. 29

Historian and author Andrew Roberts joins JNS editor-in-chief Jonathan S. Tobin to discuss revisionist history and what’s behind the increasingly strident anti-Semitism in Great Britain.

The two talk about the latest book out by Roberts on King George III, former British Prime Minister Winston Churchill and the way debates about history can shape America’s vision of itself, as well as who is thwarting British Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s efforts to bring the U.K. closer to Israel.

“Top Story” also airs on JBS-TV.
