I've listened to every episode of Hardcore History to date, and this one has to be my favorite. I've come back to it time and time again. I've recommended this single episode to people more than anything else. It's so well researched and presented. Dan has a such a great take on this topic. If you are going to listen to anything from this show start here. It stands alone, don't let the lengthy show scare you away it's truly amazing.
