Great podcast, engaging and historically accurate.
I came across this podcast because it was one of the few out there that talked about the Paraguayan War and now Iām hooked!

My only problem is that I can listen to them faster than he can produce them!

Focusing on lesser-known aspects of military history, the content explores various overlooked wars, battles, and personal narratives from different time periods and regions. Episodes highlight themes such as the experiences of women in historical conflicts, the political intricacies surrounding wars, and pivotal figures who have shaped these narratives. With engaging storytelling, the host weaves historical accounts that shed light on both well-documented events and those often forgotten, giving voice to the individuals who lived them. This approach not only educates but also brings to life the human experiences behind the dry statistics of war.
