Customer Reviews
Addendum keeps getting better and better!
Episode 21 holland and sandbrook may be my favorite addendum episode to date. The American and Brits sitting in judgement of other empires while making “excuses“ for colonialism is peak history. Lol we listeners were certainly rolling our eyes at how convenient an objective look at the morality of empire building and the seemingly justifiable way in which the British gentleman explains his thoughts. Then to have Sanbrook point out that that’s what Dans listeners would be thinking was delightful. I felt seen and now the better off for it.
I came into this episode already a fan of Dan and Tom but am pleased to say that I am now a fan of all three.
NOTE: Please bring on more authors of whom works you cite during your Hardcore History podcast.
I very much enjoyed the last episode.
I very much enjoyed the last episode and toward the end when you had your philosophical discussion about right and wrong and inevitability I could not stop thinking about eminent domain. We still have laws that let us take peoples property if they aren’t using it the right way when we think we have a better way to use it.
The English are coming
I can’t believe how good this episode was very interesting. Very serious. When I think about Churchill and him saying the toughest people in the field what men were in the panzers divisions. I guess being American I see people fighting in sneakers. And if the Germans are pushing 2-6 percent GDP. Weather the Russians are here to win Germans rearming doesn’t sound good I know my grandpa never forgave. If you talk about Alexander Cesar and Napoleon though I’m a fan of the classics having read Herodotus…..Plutarch….. Xenophon….. Napoleon and Elba means he did it twice.
