January 24, 2023 The Anglo-American Intervention in Greece w/ Joe Mayall of Joe Wrote
We are joined by Joe Mayall to talk about one of the more obscure, but incredibly significant interventions in the history of the Anglo-American Empires. The Intervention by the British and the US during the Greek Civil War in many ways set the stage for the Cold War, Korea, Vietnam, and beyond and its an event most of us know very little about.

Big thanks to Joe for an amazing write-up and discussion.
