Women at War: Europe’s forgotten fighters

When George Lucas created Star Wars, he imagined a space fantasy filled with laser swords, galactic empires, and battles between good and evil. But beneath the aliens and starships was something far more grounded and shaped by real-world war, political paranoia, insurgencies, and the machinery of modern conflict.
In this episode, we investigate the surprisingly direct connection between Star Wars and modern warfare. From the jungles of Vietnam to the rise of authoritarian governments, from drone warfare to insurgent tactics, we explore how one of the most beloved franchises in history mirrors the way empires actually rise, fight, and collapse.

The Good Allies: Canada and the US in WW2

On this episode of Hostile History, David Borys is joined by historian Cord Scott to explore how the world wars became a catalyst for the mass production of comic books. While the First World War saw their introduction as comic strips, the success of these ‘strips’ resulted in a comic book boom in the inter-war period. Superheroes like Batman and Superman were the result, making their debut in the late 1930s. When the Second World War broke out comic books were mobilized for the war effort. Even before the United States entered the war superheroes like Captain America were already gracing the pages of comic books both in the United States and all over the world.
