More from Dan Carlin's Hardcore History: Addendum
Dan visits with Professor Alex Wellerstein, whose new book about Truman and the dropping of the atomic bombs will challenge everything you think you know about the subject.
Henry Sledge, son of Eugene Sledge, writer of the classic war memoir "With the Old Breed at Peleliu and Okinawa" has released a book that includes tons of material left out of his dad's memoir along with details about growing up as the son of "Sledgehammer"
Dan has an extended and completely unplanned conversation with TV and podcast host Mike Rowe about jobs, history, media, politics and the current zeitgeist.
Dan talks with writer, broadcaster and journalist Zeinab Badawi about the ancient African kingdom of Kush and her book on African history.
