Crackpot History Episode 8: Fields of Gold, Fields of Red (Part 2)

Crackpot History is about separating history from hysteria.

Fields of Gold, Fields of Red looks back at the forces that shaped the Russo-Ukrainian War: the old empires, the broken promises, and the stories told to make sense of it all. Through a critique of Scott Horton's book Provoked, the series asks how much of what we've been told about this war is truly grounded in the historical record.

Part 2 covers the Clinton Presidency, the Balkan Wars, Kosovo, Chechnya, the rise of Vladimir Putin, and more.
