Who:<\/strong>\u00a0Andrew Roberts<\/p>\n

Claim To Fame:\u00a0<\/strong>Andrew Roberts is the bestselling author of\u00a0The Storm of War: A New History of the Second World War<\/a>,<\/em>\u00a0Masters and Commanders: How Four Titans Won the War in the West, 1941-1945<\/a>,<\/em> Waterloo: Napoleon\u2019s Last Gamble<\/em><\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Napoleon: A Life<\/em><\/a>, winner of the Los Angeles Times Book Prize for biography and a finalist for the Plutarch Award. His latest book, Churchill:\u00a0Walking With Destiny <\/em><\/a>(released in November 2018) was an\u00a0instant\u00a0New York Times <\/em>bestseller. It was also one of\u00a0The Wall Street Journal<\/i>\u2019s\u00a0Ten Best Books of 2018, one of\u00a0The Economist<\/i>\u2019s Best Books of 2018, and one of\u00a0The New York Times<\/i>\u2019s Notable Books of 2018. He has won many other prizes, including the Wolfson History Prize and the Brit\u00adish Army Military Book of the Year, and frequently writes for\u00a0The Wall Street Journal<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Where To Find Andrew:<\/strong>\u00a0His\u00a0Website<\/a>,\u00a0Amazon<\/a>,\u00a0Twitter<\/a><\/p>\n

Praise For Andrew:<\/strong> “In a single volume, Roberts has captured the essence of one of the world\u2019s most impactful, most memorable statesmen.\u00a0 It is the crowning achievement of his career \u2013 and it will become the definitive biography of his subject.”<\/em> \u2014 Henry Kissinger<\/a><\/p>\n

\n

When and where<\/a> do you like to write? Are you regimented about your writing routine<\/a>\u2014the same-thing-every-day kind of guy?<\/h3>\n

I write in my study at my house in Belgravia in London, starting very early in the morning, usually around 4.30am, dressed in my pajamas, dressing-gown and slippers. That way no-one interrupts you for five hours, in which time you can get a huge amount of work done. (I averaged 5,500 words a day<\/a> for 100 days straight writing Churchill: Walking with Destiny<\/em><\/a>). I take an hour\u2019s nap every afternoon and then work through until supper, using the caffeine drink Red Bull to keep me alert until I go to bed at 10pm. It\u2019s a fairly weird routine<\/a>, I know, but I\u2019ve adhered to it for nearly forty years after going up to university, and it works for me.<\/p>\n

Do you have any pre-writing\u00a0rituals<\/a>\u00a0that help you get in the zone? Anything you do when the writing isn\u2019t coming easy?<\/h3>\n

I play backgammon with myself on my phone. Once I\u2019ve won three games in a row, I then have to start work. Historians don\u2019t really get Writers\u2019 Block<\/a> because we have narrative to help us. We just have to say what happened next.<\/p>\n

Multiple reviews \u2013 including those in both the New York Times<\/em><\/a> and the Wall Street Journal<\/em><\/a> \u2013 have called Walking With Destiny<\/em><\/a> the greatest single-volume biography of Churchill.\u00a0 First, of all, Congratulations.\u00a0 With more than 1,000 Churchill biographies in print, how were you able to so clearly differentiate your work?<\/h3>\n

Thanks for your kind words. No idea; I really just had to trust it\u00a0to the reviewers. It was nerve-wracking waiting for the reviews<\/a> but now that eight or nine have declared it the best single-volume biography of him ever written, I feel I can exhale a bit.<\/p>\n

Winston Churchill was also an author \u2013 and even won the Nobel Prize for Literature<\/a>.\u00a0 Is there anything that you \u2013 or other authors \u2013 could learn from his approach to writing?<\/h3>\n

Huge amounts. Not least that he wrote standing up at a desk<\/a>, which he found good for his back. I suspect it might have acted against over-lengthy passages too, as there\u2019s a physical element involved. He wrote for money and squeezed every available penny out of publishers. He continually edited his writing<\/a> and was an obsessive stickler for precisely the right word. He revered what he called \u2018that noble thing \u2013 the English sentence.\u2019 He believed that each paragraph should encapsulate a single thought \u2013 no more, no less. He could write under every condition, taught to him as a war correspondent. He used humour, especially self-deprecating humour, constantly. When one sees his technique and the 37 books that emanated from it, you realize he fully deserved his Nobel Prize.<\/p>\n

For your biography of Napoleon, you visited 53 of Napoleon\u2019s 60 battle sites<\/a>. Why is it so important to visit the scenes that you write about. How different would Napoleon: A Life<\/em><\/a> have been if you had done all of your research in archives and libraries?<\/h3>\n

A military historian who writes about battles without having been to the battlefields is as professionally negligent as a homicide detective who fails to visit the scene of a crime. In the seven years that I researched and wrote my biography of Napoleon \u2013 which, absurdly enough, is longer than the Emperor himself spent in exile on the islands of Elba and St Helena put together \u2013 I was shocked by the number of authors who have opined on Napoleon\u2019s military ability without having themselves visited the actual places where it was displayed. Historians such as R.F. Delderfield, Theodore Dodge, J. Holland Rose and A.G. Macdonnell have felt perfectly at liberty to write about Napoleon\u2019s campaigns in Israel and Russia, for example, without having been to his battlefields there.<\/p>\n

For it is only when one stands on the ground that was fought over that a historian can gain that coup d\u2019oeil<\/a>, that special insight which any number of hours poring over contour maps, reading memoirs or looking at contemporary illustrations cannot give. In walking the ground of 53 of Napoleon\u2019s 60 battlefields for that book, I was astounded how often the engagement becomes perfectly explicable once one sees the topography, plots the relative position of the forces and sees the fields of fire from the opposing commanders\u2019 points of view. (The seven battlefields I missed were either so built over as to make a visit worthless, or were in the Gaza Strip, which as a founder member of the Friends of Israel Initiative I thought it politic to skip.)<\/p>\n

All of your work is very research intensive. What is your method for researching<\/a> and organizing material<\/a> you might want to use for your future writing?<\/h3>\n

For Churchill<\/a>,<\/em> I wrote up about 5 million words of notes, divided chronologically and thematically, before I wrote a word of the book. Total immersion is the only way I know how to write. When visiting an archive, try to take notes on the books you think you might write in the future as well as the one you are writing at the time. You\u2019ll almost certainly be able to use them somewhere sometime.<\/p>\n

What\u00a0books or writers<\/a>\u00a0have most influenced the way you think and the way you write?<\/h3>\n

Kenneth Rose\u2019s<\/a> biographies, Duff Cooper\u2019s Talleyrand<\/em><\/a>, Edward Gibbon\u2019s Memoirs<\/em><\/a>, John Brooke\u2019s George III<\/em><\/a>, Vincent Cronin\u2019s Napoleon<\/em><\/a>, Lord Salisbury\u2019s Saturday Review<\/em> journalism, Churchill\u2019s My Early Life<\/em><\/a> and Great Contemporaries<\/em><\/a>, Solzhenitsyn<\/a>, Burke\u2019s Reflections<\/em><\/a>. Not much since I left university though, as I\u2019ve been too busy swotting.<\/p>\n

What is your\u00a0advice to aspiring writers?<\/h3>\n

Get an agent<\/a>. Try to find an alternative form of income<\/a> while you write your first couple of books. Pull every string to get publicity & reviews: it\u2019s expected of you and never held against you. Beware multi-book contracts. Accept that pedantry, pessimism, and penury are the accepted lot of 90% of writers. Do as much of your own publicity<\/a> as you can, and burnish your public speaking skills for literary festivals. Write for newspapers and don\u2019t turn down opportunities to appear on radio and TV, as they reach far larger audiences than anything else. Remember that despite the disappointments<\/a> that go with the profession of writing, it\u2019s still easily the best job in the world and almost the only one that can offer immortality. Who knows or cares who was prime minister when Boswell or Gibbon or Burke or Goldsmith were writing?<\/p>\n
