This episode is part two of our SPECIAL - The Author Spotlight for August 2023.
Again, This month's featured author is none other than Victor Davis Hanson and I will make the claim that he is the hardest working and the most intelligent military historian still living in the world.
Lets dive in again
Key Points from the Episode:
- Prepare your minds for a deep dive into the world of esteemed historian Victor Davis Hansen. We'll be picking apart his latest three literary treasures, beginning with 'The Second World Wars,' where we’ll uncover the morale and strategies that influenced the German and Soviet armies.
- We'll journey through the thick of battle to the streets of Stalingrad, drawing parallels with the Athenians’ catastrophic defeat in Sicily in 415 BC.
- Next, we turn our attention to the skies as we scrutinize German bomber production failures and the role of naval air power during World War II. We'll question the German Blitzkrieg tactic and its assumption of quick wars, and discuss the indispensable role of naval assets in the Pacific War.
- Then, we leave the past behind to unfold the Trump paradox in 'The Case for Trump,' drawing intriguing connections between Donald Trump's political agenda and the classic 1953 Western Shane.
- In the concluding segment, we unpack 'The Dying Citizen,' exploring the potential perils of tribalism, globalization, and progressive elites on the American dream.
- We discuss the importance of a collective civic spirit and the power it holds in preserving an inclusive American citizenship.
- We wrap up with a discussion on the power of literature and how to maximize the wisdom from the written word. With vast knowledge waiting to be revealed, this episode promises to be an intellectual feast.
Join us and enjoy the wisdom we extract from the remarkable works of Victor Davis Hansen.
