4.15 The Admiral, the President and the Prime Minister
Send us a textI'm very excited to release this episode to the world. Originally it was supposed to focus on the men who eventually were promoted to 5 star admiral during the war. However, as I started writing it changed and thus so did the focus. Instead I decided to focus on one of the men, Fleet Admiral King, someone the average American is probably not familiar with. So enjoy!Today's show is sponsored by Unidragon Wooden puzzles. These awesome and unique puzzles make great gifts. Use coupon code history10 at checkout to receive 10% off...

Bonus Episode: The History of Russia and Ukraine
Today I talk to a former student who has both a Bachelors and a Master's degree in National Security studies to discuss the history of Russia and Ukraine. He has published papers and presented to international conferences so I thought we'd have a discussion about what's going on over there. Note: This episode was recorded in late January, prior to war actually breaking out. But I released it anyway as I think there is some good information in it.
