 https://ihr.org/audio_file/august2020buchanan

Mark Weber and Fróði Midjord examine and dissect a range of widely accepted myths about the devastating global conflict of 1939-1945. In this August 2020 session they explain how the war’s outcome decisively shaped today’s America and Europe. Runtime: 130 mins. They show that the conflict was not, as we’re told, a clear-cut battle between Good and Evil. The two also discuss Churchill, Hitler and ‘The Unnecessary War’: How Britain Lost Its Empire and the West Lost the World, by Patrick J. Buchanan. This readable and well researched book by one of America’s most astute and influential public affairs commentators is a bold and persuasive debunking of the “official” story of the origins and trajectory of WW2. It’s also a devastating critique of the “cult” image of Winston Churchill.
