What if I told you that we can connect Woodrow Wilson to the Nazis in a single degree of separation?

No, this is not the zillionth illustration of Godwin's Law that you've seen this week; it is simply little-known historical fact.

In this dose of Dangerous History, we'll talk about the little-known eugenicist psychiatrist who drafted the eugenics sterilization bill that Woodrow Wilson signed into law in 1911 (during his brief tenure as Governor of New Jersey), and who later collaborated with the Nazis who ran the notorious Buchenwald concentration camp three decades later.

Join CJ as he discusses the life and career of Dr. Edwin Katzen-Ellenbogen, and the historical context in which they occurred.

This installment in the Woodrow Wilson series covers the period of the Wilson presidency from the summer of 1914 through the end of that year, when he said he wanted to keep the US neutral & out of the war, & still seemed to at least kinda mean it.

(*Apologies for the lackluster audio quality in some of the middle segments - I accidentally used my laptop's crummy integral mic instead of my usual podcasting mic for those.)

This DHP episode features CJ's recent interview with historian Ryan S. Walters about his most recent book, The Jazz Age President: Defending Warren G. Harding, which was recently released in paperback.

Join CJ & Ryan as they discuss Warren Harding, his presidency, and how, in contrast to the Establishment's take, Harding was actually a very good president, and far, far superior to his immediate predecessor, Woodrow Wilson - at least, if you actually value things like peace, freedom, civil liberties, & prosperity.

Recently, Sal Mayweather (aka, Sal the Agorist) asked CJ to write the intro to his new book, Three Books That Changed the World, which discusses three highly influential novels from the early 20th century "Progressivism 1.0" era. The audio version of that intro (as read by CJ for the audio version of the book) is the heart of this DHP Microdose episode.

We've all heard of the famous 'butterfly effect.' But is there a plausible, realistic, alternative historical scenario in which the US & the world could've been spared the worst aspects of Woodrow Wilson's presidency merely by altering one seemingly minor detail of the 1912 election?

Yes there is. Join CJ in this super-concise DHP episode as he discusses just such a scenario, whereby changing only one seemingly humble variable in 1912 would probably have given the US a POTUS who would've kept the country out of WWI & thereby avoided the worst aspects of Woodrow Wilson.
