    The Penobscot Expedition (pt. 5)

    The fighting now begins!

    This is the story of a battle, of a disastrous retreat, and the conspiracy which followed.



    This was a naval disaster of epic scale. More than American forty warships and transport vessels were destroyed. Another America naval disaster of this scale would not be repeated until the Pearl Harbor attacks on December 7, 1941, more than 162 years later.

    Warheads on Foreheads: The history of America's drones and quest for precision strike

    Warheads on Foreheads: The history of America's drones and quest for precision strike

    Today the United States can drone strike it's enemies almost anywhere in the world with non-explosive Hellfire missiles that deploy blades to slice through a target with almost no risk to nearby civilians. It is the latest-and-greatest expression of an American quest for precision strike that began in WWI, carried through (with sometimes disastrous results) WWII, into the nuclear era of the Cold War, and continues today in the drone age.



    With my guest James Patton Rogers we talk about the century long American quest for precision, the logic of precision strike when using nuclear weapons, and the emerging second drone age where every ragtag militia and terrorist group will have access to drones that 30 years ago were only obtainable by great powers.

JoCaRugh ,

Great Podcast

Chase puts the work in to deliver a high quality and well researched podcast.

His intellect and high level of education are evident in the way he structures and delivers his well researched content. He reports history as it is, in a non-biased tone. Very thorough, and very interesting!

Give this podcast a listen, you will not regret it!

(To the guy in the comments section before me talking about how he "used to rate it 5 Stars": you're full of bologna. Not only did you totally misconstrue what Chase said, you believe those two issues are somehow intersectional? Quite unbelievable, but hey, can't be mad at the ignorant.No matter how willful.)

Great naval history

I look forward to the new podcast whenever Chase launches the next episodes.

I am a modern warship fan, but the history of the sail ship Chase describes really helps me understand the tactics for todays Navy. I have recommended this to friends and posted it on Facebook. Five stars! And fair seas.

vvhhhvrhhuyd ,

US Naval History comes alive

I enjoy listening and learning. Keep up the good work.
