American Historian and bestselling author H.W. Brands joins this 114th episode to discuss his new book AMERICA FIRST. He's the senior chair of History at the University of Texas, and has authored almost twenty books on American history. Brands is also a Pulitzer Prize finalist.
AMERICA FIRST, is a book that narrates the fierce debate over America’s role in the world in the runup to World War II through its two most important figures: President Franklin D. Roosevelt, who advocated intervention, and his isolationist nemesis, aviator and popular hero Charles Lindbergh.
We talk about the leadup to World War II, and how those events of the past are similar to the events of today. This is especially important as we recognize the 85th Anniversary of World War 2 in Sept 2024.
Are we headed to World War 3?
Will this 2024 election define history?

September 23, 2024 Jack Carr: Targeted Beirut, Terminal List, and the Best Defense
On this 113th Episode of Course of Action, former Navy SEAL and #1 NY Times Bestselling Author Jack Carr joins me to talk about his newest book, Targeted: Beirut.
Jack has penned a riveting nonfiction book that recounts the 1983 Marine Corp barracks bombing in Beirut, and navigates the path of the storied beginning to the war on terror. And let me tell you, only someone like Jack can make nonfiction feel just like a James Reece thriller.
Speaking of James Reece, we also get a little bit of an update on James Reece #8, what's next for the Terminal List Amazon Series, and how the prequel, DARK WOLF, production is going. Plus, Jack gives us a little behind-the-scenes of how his business works, and what the Best Defense Foundation means to him, preserving history of America's heroes, and how passing it along to the next generation is critically important.
