Here’s something we haven’t seen in a while — a ‘Silver Bullet DHP Episode’ (ie, one in which CJ records a mostly-extemporaneous discussion of a concept from his mobile podcasting studio, the Silver Bullet, while commuting.) Kicking it Old School DHP on this one!
Join CJ on a couple of morning commutes to work for a freewheeling discussion on the Manichean Temptation, some of its dangers and problems, some real-world manifestations of the phenomenon, and related issues like the problem with ‘extremists’ (as CJ defines them here), and the need to think not just about ends, but also about means, as well as some brief info on the ways that cults exploit the Manichean Temptation to the extreme.

The Report
I’ve just published the second lecture (numbered 01 since the first lecture was 00) in Rise of the American Empire, my first Dangerous History Lyceum course!
In this lesson, I explain how the United States managed to grab title to the region known as Trans-Appalachia (the territory between the Appalachian Mountains and the Mississippi River) at the Paris peace conference of 1781-3, despite having almost no ‘boots on the ground’ in the region at the time. Thus at the very moment of getting its independence recognized by the British Empire, the Americans were already aggressively charting an imperial path of their own, a path they’ll continue to aggressively pursue in various ways into the 21st century.

In this episode, CJ talks with Mark Jacob, one of the three co-authors of the recently published book Aftershock: The Human Toll of War (published by CityFiles Press).
This book presents an extensive collection of photos from the last year of World War II (many of which have never been seen before by the public) taken by US military photographers, scanned from the original negatives to give amazing picture quality, providing a unique, unfiltered, and often disturbing glimpse of what the latter phases of the largest total war in human history actually looked like. In many cases the authors have been able to research the backstories of the photos, and have provided descriptive captions that add detail and further humanize the stories told by the images.
