Leaders and Legends

When did Germany lose World War II? According to journalist and historian Andrew Nagorski, Hitler’s fate was sealed near the very beginning of the conflict. Andrew joins us on the “Leaders and Legends” podcast to discuss his superb book “1941: The Year Germany Lost the War.” If you are a student of history’s most seminal and brutal conflict, you will enjoy hearing Andrew discuss his writings and research.
