    Episode 91- Out of Hitlers shadow with Tobias Straumann
    Feb 24 2026
    In this episode, I spoke with Tobias Straumann regarding his book "Out of Hitler's Shadow: Debt, Guilt and The Economic Miracle".

Out of Hitler's Shadow answers this question, and considers why the Allies concluded that imposing unrealistic financial conditions on a defeated country would do more harm than good.

    This is a short and a well written book.

    Episode 88-Pearl Harbor Japan's Greatest Disaster with Mark Stille
    Jan 6 2026
    In this episode, I spoke with Mark Stille, about his book "Pearl Harbor Japan's Greatest Disaster". In this the first comprehensive treatment of Pearl Harbor since the early 1990s, respected Pacific War naval historian Mark E. Stille traces the road to war and the Japanese attack itself. He examines the role of the man behind the operation, Japanese Admiral Yamamoto, as well as the strengths and weaknesses of the plan. The American preparations for an attack are also carefully reviewed. The heart of the book is a comprehensive narrative of Pearl Harbor along with an appreciation of its results placed in proper perspective.
