Jeremy Kuzmarov looks at the State of the Union


Listen Later

This week was a very busy one for news.  Trump gave his State of the Union speech followed the next day by his acquittal in the impeachment trial and the Democrats made a mess of the Iowa Caucuses.  To help us get perspective on these events, I’m joined by historian Jeremy Kuzmarov.

Jeremy is the author of 4 books on US foreign policy:

  • Obama’s Unending Wars: Fronting the Foreign Policy of the Permanent Warfare State
  • Modernizing Repression: Police Training and Nation-Building in the American Century (Culture, Politics, and the Cold War)
  • The Myth of the Addicted Army: Vietnam and the Modern War on Drugs (Culture, Politics, and the Cold War)
  • The Russians Are Coming, Again: The First Cold War as Tragedy, the Second as Farce (with John Marciano)
  • He has taught at numerous universities in the field of US history and foreign relations and contributes to a number of progressive publications.  He is also a board member of the Tulsa Peace Fellowship and on the Steering Committee for Historians for Peace and Democracy.
