The War at Sea

Описание

In 1940, German U-boats are sinking British hopes of victory. From the sidelines, FDR loans Britain much needed aid and maneuvers US patrols to the edge of an “undeclared war” with Germany. Meeting at a game-changing summit, Churchill and FDR align their goals. But as America and Britain get closer, so do the German U-boats. Once at war, the US will face not only German ships but the might of the Japanese empire. At Midway, America’s young and inexperienced forces will fight for control of the sea.This episode features interviews with (in order of appearance):Dan Snow, historian and broadcasterPhillips O'Brien, professor, University of St. AndrewsMax Brooks, fellow, Modern War Institute, West PointRobert Citino, senior historian, National WWII MuseumJon Meacham, presidential historianLeah Wright Rigueur, associate professor, Johns Hopkins UniversityGeoffrey Wawro, professor, University of North TexasColonel Douglas Douds, professor, US Army War CollegeJonathan Parshall, military historian, US Naval War CollegeDan Carlin, podcaster, Hardcore History
