On Tuesday 27 October, The Duke and Duchess of Richmond are thrilled to welcome Lord Andrew Roberts, award-winning historian and author, as he discusses his new book, Napoleon & His Marshals.

This evening provides the unique opportunity to hear Andrew speak against the splendour of the State Apartments, with the chance to explore Goodwood House and The Radical Duke exhibition. It's an evening to hear about this dramatic and hugely enjoyable book from one of Britain's most admired historians and to enjoy the fullest account of these remarkable historical figures.
Andrew Roberts (Lord Roberts of Belgravia) is an award-winning historian and author of Salisbury (Wolfson Prize for History), Masters and Commanders (Emery Reves Award), The Storm of War (British Army Book Prize), Napoleon the Great (Grand Prix of the Fondation Napoléon and the Los Angeles Times Biography Prize), George III (Elizabeth Longford Prize), and Churchill (Council on Foreign Relations Book Prize).
