World War II Leadership

Victor Hanson, a professor emeritus of Classics at California State University, Fresno, lectured to a history class on masters and commanders during World War II. In this fall seminar in classical and military history Professor Hanson examined how leaders, both civilian officials and generals on the battlefield, conducted themselves in wartime. That day’s class focused on Franklin D. Roosevelt and Winston Churchill and how those very different American and British leaders learned to work together to defeat Nazi Germany. This episode was recorded in 2010.

What?! A Victor Davis Hanson lecture on Leadership, and there’s ~300 views and no comments yet? I’ll do what I can to remedy this situation.

When the Nazi party held the ralley in MSG in 1939, it was attended by 20k democrats. Groucho Marx was trying to warn everyone about the threat of Adolf. Democrats shook it off.
