Dr. Raymond Williams did an excellent interview with author Sharron Wilkins Conrad!
The lady’s voice is so sharp, it’s painful to listen to. Sorry.

I’m not an academically-trained historian, but read and study a lot, especially from the first half of the twentieth century. Thank you for giving her the platform for explaining her ideas. I’m embarking on post-WWII histories now, and my reading list is enhanced.
