EPISODE 10: Jonathan and I speak to Oxford University historian Richard Reid about war, state formation and the revolutions shaping Africa before the Scramble
Listen to the podcast. I think Richard makes an excellent point about warfare.
My co-host started his question with this: "I'm probably a typical left liberal, war and blood is bad and warfare is bad. And so this was one of these increasingly rare moments where I really feel like my perspective was shifted by this book."

Did you listen to the podcast, Conrad?

A podcast I would listen to, would be titled “Trauma informed war progressions in history”

Thanks for answering my question :)
Or any other form of progress
