Listen to my two-part interview with Trent Hone, author of Mastering the Art of Command: Admiral Chester W. Nimitz and Victory in the Pacific.

Part 1 is mostly about history, including places in the Pacific that you should visit if you're into war history.

Part 2 is about contemporary military & political affairs, including Ukraine & Taiwan.

Part 2: Future

Trent Hone & I discuss:

00:00 Will hypersonic missiles make navies obsolete?
04:45 What would Nimitz say about today's US Navy?
06:00 Taiwan War Game
09:20 Will there be war in Taiwan?
11:00 What if we cut the US military to 25% of its size?
19:30 How will the Russo-Ukraine War end?

Read my review of Hone's book (and other military books).
