What a great discovery, Dr. Black. Thanks for posting!
Great interview.
Dr Black shows a great ability to structure information in his answers to increase their intelligibilty and promorte understanding in his listeners.
I would call him a 'natural born educator' but suspect that much thought, work and practice has been needed to achieve this level .
I hope all listeners and students come to appreciate his singular ability to embed cogent knowledge in their memories.
My 18 year old grandson loves this museum & carries on our family's love of History. His last year of high school in New Orleans he took an Advanced Placement WWII History Class & the class used the vast Museum's Library & even did podcasts on the War called Tigers By The Fire on Apple. The Class attended several conferences at the Museum including the one on the 20th Anniversary of Band Of Brothers in which George was on the panel including writers & actors from the series. He is now a plebe at a US Military Academy.
I wish your grandson the very best prospects in his evolving career and may he build on the wonderful foundation he has learned from his interest in history. I'm sure he'll make you prouder than you are today in his future career. Thanks for sharing.
Congratulations Dr. Citino on your retirement. I'm saddened that I didn't get to visit the museum and meet you before you retired. Enjoy your well earned time to spend with your family. Well done.
Would love another few hours of this
Brilliant
Wow.... I had heard mention of peace talks in '43 but never heard any of the details. Now I know why.
More than 20 minutes of introductions and thanks before they get to the content.
Thanks. Skipped it
I read that too late..oof
While I appreciate and understand the comment, these intros are the best I've ever sat thru. No joke.
That's how I pick some of my next books to read.
I know, while on one hand I’m feeling impatient and want the introductions to conclude, the content and knowledge gained by listening and paying attention to them was well worth. It’s also extremely important to recognize certain individuals this way.
The interview begins at 18:45.
There is a long speech beforehand because this is the last time the event hosts get to speak to their crowd, who have probably been there for hours listening to other speakers with shorter, less important intros.. Its also to show respect to the people and institutions that made this happen.
Dr Robert Citino is my favorite historian. More then anyone else, he makes history fascinating and captivating
I agree
John McManus has an incredible series of books on the US Army in the Pacific. Im a former crayon-eater so I had always thought the Pacific theater was mostly fought by Marines and Navy, but just the logistical efforts by the US Army in the Pacific boggle the mind. The combat effort was equally impressive and something that should be talked about and celebrated more.
Entirely first rate presentation, counter-factuals be damned.
The "great appeaser"! Hah! American reluctance to take on the troubles of the old world was rational. Even now, after more than two generations of peace in western Europe, tribal resentments still rumble under the veneer of cordiality.
Ideological historians like these 2 western exceptionalists see history strictly through Ideological prism. Especially the bald guy. They criticize SU for the German-SU pact. But they never mention that Stalin wanted all European powers to provide protection to the Czechs before the German annexation of CZS. Western politicians sold out CZS and made a deal with the Nazis. Soviets then knew that the west wanted Hitler to destroy SU. Many other examples of pro western bias in this video.
WW2 was an ideological war and a thorough and real analysis and fir strategic level of understanding, you have to understand the war from ideological perspective.
You have to understand the personalites involved in the war, especially when dictators like Stalin and Hitler started the war over their ideologises, without giving much thought about the misery and destruction their countries and population would suffer. WW2 was an ideological war, both Stalin and Hitler and for Imperial Japanese.you can't talk about WW2 without talking about motivations.
And you communist sympathisers forget the Soviet crimes in trying to defend them. Soviets were a colonist empire before Nazia attacked them. How you idiots forget entirely about their pact with Hitler and their illegal land grabbing of whole Eastern Europe and their invasion of Finland ( where they lost hundreds of thousands of men for Nothing, Stalin was a mass murder of Soviet citizens because he was a mentally incapable man leading the most powerful army in Europe)
Soviets provided the oil and food to Nazis till untill Nazis attacked them Soviet and Nazis were essentially the two sides of imperialism, one for racism reason, other for motive of spreading their failed economic ideology in central Europe.
Why would West allow SU to march troops through CZS when they knew SU would then simply not remove troops from there and would occupy it. Soviet help against Franco in civil war came at a high price, when Soviets took all of Republicans gold reserves, and SU was always a power hungry colonists, never respecting other countries sovereignty. Ask Poland, why would they believe in allowing Soviet troops to march into CZS?
Soviet policy before WW2 was responsible for Propping up Nazis and they faced the consequences of Stalin failed foreign policy by extermination of its 27 million citizens
I love you guys ❤️
