Happy fifth!! On this special edition of "Axelbank Reports History and Today," we are thrilled to chat with HW Brands to celebrate this show's fifth anniversary. Over the last five years, we have published 180 episodes and profiled books and authors of many stripes. We have done our best to make history relevant to today, and to give our listeners the information they need to get along in their communities and to make informed decisions about protecting American democracy. Thank you for being along for the ride! 

Professor Brands joined us to celebrate and to talk about his career in history. He is writing his 31st book - on George Washington, to be titled "American Patriarch" and released in 2026 - and publishes a Substack multiple times a week called, "A User's Guide to History."
