Ep. 0188: Introducing the Dangerous History Lyceum: Rise of the American Empire
I am super-excited to announce that the first lecture of Rise of the American Empire, the first Dangerous History Lyceum course, is now available!
This podcast episode is centered on a segment from the first lecture in that course (slightly over half of the lecture, to be precise), so that DHP listeners will get a little preview of what is going to be covered in it, and (hopefully) will decide to support the show at $15 per month (or higher) in order to get access to the course as I create it.
This course will cover the growth of the United States in size & power, from Independence through the War on Terror through the analytical lens of imperial history.
Want to have access to the entirety of this, and any & all future DHL lectures & courses?
Sign up to support the DHP at Patreon or Subscribestar at the Scholar Warrior level for $15 per month (or higher), or up your pledge to that level if you’re already supporting at a lower level.
