Since Derek is out of town, an unsupervised Danny welcomes back AP friends Michael Brenes, co-director of the Brady-Johnson program in grand strategy at Yale University and publisher of Warfare and Welfare, and Stephen Wertheim, senior fellow in the American Statecraft Program at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, to discuss the new volume Danny and Michael edited,
I adore the episodes that discuss how historians think and reason since in today's world it is such a painful way to live - especially when the analysis is proved right usually due to some tragedy where a victory lap would be most inappropriate, leaving the same crew playing with the models so they can screw up something else.
No wonder there is so much effort put into destroying the profession...
The title of this episode is highly misleading. A better title would have been: "The Struggles of Junior History Professors in the Modern Era". This was boring, I learned nothing and wish you would always ask: "Is this topic going to help educate or even engage my subscribers". If the answer is "no" or "very few of them", then pick a new topic. Wertheim is a great guest and I looked forward to hearing his views - on something relevant.
Very interesting! Please continue this discussion! I listened twice ( yes I listened twice!). It helped me try to make sense of things.
dude, the book is 150 $ 🫣
How dare you shame Danny and Mike's hustle mindset.
Academic texts are a racket ha ha

Yeah, it's an outrage. I don't care about this inside baseball view of a dying profession. I just need to know what's on the exam!
