Historian: The Untold Story of WWII's Most Fascinating Person - Geoffrey Roberts
About this episode
Geoffrey Roberts discusses the life of Kathleen Harriman, a key figure during World War II who has been largely forgotten by history.
Kathleen Harriman was there at the center of it all, at Churchill's side in the Blitz, in Stalin's Moscow, at Yalta, and somehow history almost forgot her. My guest today, renowned historian Geoffrey Roberts, is fixing that, and I promise you, once you hear her story, you won't. Geoffrey Roberts is an emeritus professor of history at University College Cork. A leading Soviet history expert, he has written many books, including Stalin’s Library, an award-winning biography of Georgy Zhukov, Stalin’s General, and the acclaimed Stalin’s Wars.
