Hitler should have handled his allies differently. In his view, Germany had a clear advantage at the beginning of the War, but Corporal Hitler made many blunders, not only not in the strategic department, for example dismissing most of his generals. Roberts's main interest was to find out the reasons why Nazi Germany lost the war, and if they could have won it. In 2009, Roberts published his most known work, The Storm of War, which accounts for the whole history of the Second World War.

In 2008, The Economist gave him the title of the 'title of Britain's finest contemporary military historian', only two years after an extra extra harsh critique over one of his books (more on that later), listing his Masters and Commanders: The Military Geniuses Who Led the West to Victory in World War II among the greatest books of that year. Roberts wrote many books, covering especially (but not only) military history. It should be noticed that, despite writing informative, well-researched books that usually have more than 100 pages of references alone, Roberts doesn't even try to hide his fanboyism about some historical figures and events, and due to his partiality one should read them with a grain of salt. Roberts has written many doorstop books that were (overall) well received, even if they had their dose of controversy. The best thing about Andrew Roberts is his books, and most of them were praised even from left-wing sources.
