Hundred Proof History Greg, Chris, Wolf Dick, Hambone, and sometimes Dan the Intro Guy

Stop, collaborate, and listen, because we are FINALLY back with a brand new edition. In 1791 the slaves of Saint Domingue, which is modern day Haiti, rose up in rebellion to overthrow their oppressors. From this chaos came a man who would prove to be an adept leader and cunning politician. He would eventually find a way to eliminate slavery in Haiti and his work would lead to the first sovereign nation in the Caribbean. In this episode we're taking a look at his early life and the first few years of the rebellion. It's a wild and rarely told story, so we are excited to be back to tell it to you. So why don't you grab a drink, settle in, and enjoy this episode of Hundred Proof History titled Toussaint Louverture Part I...Flip Flopping for Freedom!

Last week we ended our show on a bleak note with hundreds of American prisoners of war at serious risk of being slaughtered by their Japanese guards. But we can't stand to see you so glum. You're just so pretty when you smile, you should do it more often! So, to help guide you back to a state of history bliss, we're going to devote this episode to telling you all about the spec ops raid designed to save these prisoners from annihilation. It is a great bit of World War II history that sometimes gets overshadowed by massive battles, but we think it deserves its time in the spotlight and we also think you're going to love it. So, why don't you grab a drink, settle in, and enjoy this episode of Hundred Proof History titled The Great Raid - Going Down to Cabana Town!

In 1942, the American forces in the Philippines were in a very bad way and were forced to surrender to the Japanese that had trapped them on a small peninsula on the island of Luzon. What followed was a brutal hellmarch, a suffocating train ride, and internment at a camp with conditions so bad that men wished for death. In this episode we're telling you the story of the surrender and the torture that followed, but this little slice of bleakness is only being served so that we can come back next week and tell you all about the daring spec-ops raid that was launched to save these men and bring them home. But for now, why don't you go ahead and grab a drink, settle in, and enjoy this episode of Hundred Proof History titled The Bataan Death March: Aptly Named!

In last week's episode we introduced you to Roman von Ungern-Sternberg, a wealthy weirdo Estonian who was obsessed with violence, establishing a monarchy, and murdering Jewish people. When we left you, he had joined up with the White Army to fight against the Soviets in the Russian Civil War. In this episode we're taking you through his fighting in Siberia, his "liberation" of Mongolia, his establishment of a Mongolian army, his invasion of Russia, and his eventual death. And if you think any of that went well, then you need to go ahead and grab a drink, settle in, and realize why this episode of Hundred Proof History is titled The Bloody Baron Part II: Kinda Bad at Everything!

At the beginning of the 20th Century, the country of Russia was in a state of absolute turmoil. The Tsar had been overthrown and the country was divided between the commie Soviet Red Army and the aristocratic White Army. In the middle of this was a little known history figure named Roman von Ungern Sternberg, who would not only fight the Bolsheviks but would then invade Mongolia and attempt to lead a Mongol force back into Russia to liberate it from the Soviets. Oh, and he was a total piece of shit that believed in ultraviolence, particularly towards the Jewish people. It's a wild story and in this episode of HPH we're taking you through his youth, early military career, and his establishment as a feudal tyrant in Siberia. So, why don't you just go ahead and grab a drink, settle in, and enjoy this episode of Hundred Proof History titled The Bloody Baron Part I: The Dickhead of Dauria!
