Fantastic video, took a bit of hunting to find it, sad it has so few views for such a well put together insight. Would love to visit the library one day, its great that its there and Friedman's work remains as it was, an invaluable start to the world of Cryptanalysis.

Disgusting man

This is a fabulous piece of research. Thanx mate

Thank You for all the work you do!

Higgins boat. Simplicity at its best.

Excellent topic and insights. Good job sir! Whether luck or the guiding hand of Providence, this is a good reminder for young folks on the way up that the manure they step in today might just end up being fertilizer for the path ahead.

Thank you for an excellent presentation.

Wonderful story. Appreciate the presentation and look forward to reading the book.

I am so glad that these two men sat down and talked about the similarities of these two men! A whole book could be written just about Washington and Marshall and it is so cool to see these two men talk it out.

He was born in Chisinau, Moldova, by those times called Basarabia. So stop saying he was born in Russia. He was MOLDOVAN. Romanian blood.

🇺🇸❤️

Thank you and keep up the great work!

My wife's Grandfather, Emmet C. "Arky" Rice, served in Cannon Company, 399th Infantry Regiment, 100th Infantry Division

George C. Marshall was one of the great men in American history. MacArthur was a general during WW2. Big difference.

Very neat! Thank you very much!

Best lecturer ever

With so much disagreement on WWII, has any scholar surveyed the field and tried to bring clarity to all that has been written previously? The scholarship seems to be sprawling a bit. There are books written about the interviews done with German generals after the war. Recently, I have read that they lied in most of what they said.

Ike got the well deserved credit but anyone who knows their history knows Marshall was the architect of victory. The greatest man their ever was in my worthless opinion.

I get no sound in this video.

Winston Churchill was a fraud, sorry Brits. As he famously said "The winner writes the history books". The British survived the Blitz in 1940 when Herr Goering mis-calculated his air power. Had the Germans done the militarily correct thing, invaded Great Britain (Operation Sea Lion) and let the invasion of Russian wait until Britain was defeated, Churchill would have been crushed like a bug even if the US had intervened, which they probably would not have. A full scale Barbarossa level invasion of Great Britain would have been over in a matters of weeks if not days.

Excellent discussions by each and the best I believe was the 2nd Speaker discussing the Iraq war and lack of cultural mobilization compared to World War II, almost all the burden fall upon our professional soldiers and not upon the nation. I greatly appreciate that part and his discussion of private military companies...he is absolutely correct in explaining that such did not mobilze our people to go to war against terrorism.

MacArthur and Marshall were well acquainted with each other in WWI. Marshall was a staff officer under Pershing who MacArthur did not get along with. That's why Marshall was transferred to the Illinois National Guard when MacArthur was Army Chief of Staff. This guy has some work to do in the research department.

This was history mixed with a great deal of personal political views. Very disappointing. Thank goodness I never had one of these speakers as a history professor.

Marshall wanted to keep going through Germany and attack Russia. Deluded. MacArthur thought he was a demi god to the Phillipinos. He wasn't. His way of soldiering was from WW1. The Japanese fought like insurgents. He was completely out of his depth. My father was in the Australian High Command at Port Moresby. The Americans came to the rescue of the Aussies at Kokoda and on the North coast of New Guinea. The Australians came to the rescue of the Americans in New Britain. HQ operated despite MacArthur. He demonstrated that he had learned nothing from WW1, WW2 and the near disaster in Korea. His firing by Truman happened way past when the Korean War was nearly lost. Truman had no choice. MacArthur was deluded too.

Great job.

A great talk! What a great speaker!

Who hired comedian could barely understand

This was an excellent video!

First time I've heard the war of 1812 described as an overwhelming victory for the USA

Enjoyed your speaking style mad for a great presentation

Great lecture! I knew there was a relationship between Marshall and Patton, I did not think it went that far back or that they were that close. Next time you can invite someone from the General Patton Memorial Museum. 😛

Woody Harrelson turned historian. Awesome!

He was my platoon sgt best nco I ever had learned so much from him would've followed him anywhere without question

Man I absolutely hat the second speaker. What an apologist/anti-American whiny presentation. Wow, he can't remember Kuwait.

The 2nd speaker just rambles on about his political views on current events vs. the topic. I thought this was " Myths of WW II"

Snow is pushing myths himself. Where are the Americans who think their nations won the war by themselves? He quotes a couple of anecdotes, then goes on to repeat the mantra of the myth, telling us things Americans don't know that I learned reading library books about World War II in the fifth grade. In the end, its just a rationalization for scold Americans and reinforcing your prejudices about them.

Good presentation. He knows his topic, did the presentation with enthusiasm. Told many great stories as examples and kept moving with great eye contact. Excellent speaker with lots of body language too. I am sure he slept well that night as he ran a mile in this presentation!

speakers can't even talk, when they do they either read it from paper or just lie about almost everything. Just picking up what you need when you talk about an issue doesn't mean you are professionaly true and scientific. These 3 guys openly lying and distorting almost about everything, unbelievable. How they were not ready, how US never planned something like a world war, how it was a big surprise at PH, how Dresden bombing was nothing. You should be ashamed of yourselfs. These are not myths of ww2, these are distortions of ww2, grey-propagating of ww2, sorry but we ain't buy it:)

Thanks, interesting

Marshall Plan

Second lecturer starting from 40:00 is super boring. 1:09:30 Whataboutism by a professor I cant believe it.

nothing can beat american inventiveness when left to its own devices.

MacArthur, a great man........Let's ask Truman or anybody who ever served under him...

Memory is the greatest of all liars. Especially when it comes to wars. We idealize it and under-emphasize the harsh realities that are all too stark especially to those on the front lines. Yet we insist on having our heroes and gloss over it.

Very interesting

Long dull water swigging into

Agreed. Well worth watching

Doddering old socialists without a clue.

Wow.. he made the largest strawman I have seen in a great while to knock down.
