Added 5.17.19. With historians John Lynn of the University of Illinois and Brian Sandberg of Northern Illinois University, Milt in this vintage episode explores what drove conquerors such as Alexander the Great, Napoleon, and Hitler to do what they did. What was the role of “legacy preoccupation” in Alexander’s quests? How exactly did Hitler conceptualize his symbiosis with the body politic? These questions and much more get a lively treatment from the panel, and callers add their own theories and queries.
