Sure, this is Peloton. This is a 15 minute low impact ride. But so is this.

We're here together for a 10 minute empathy meditation.

And even this. We get here in with a 20 minute hip-hop shadow boxes session.

Ah what more could you ask for? Well with thousands of classes on our bike treading

app there's more to Peloton that you might have thought.

This is Peloton.

Internet connection and Peloton all acts as membership required.

C1 Peloton. UK. I'm John Bachelors with Professor Gary Bass.

The book is Judgment at Tokyo, World War II on trial and the making of modern Asia.

The judges include one particular scholar, international law scholar,

Rabhabinoed Powell, born 1886 in Bengal province, then part of the British Empire, the British Raj, now part of Bangladesh.

He is extremely well educated as a young person.

Strikingly, his father leaves the family and he's raised by a determined

mother with his two sisters. He has gifts in many directions and goes to law school

in Calcutta. He's a Hindu, but he's a man way before

the 20th century, way before his time in the 20th century.

Professor, spending time with Paul in your book is a pleasure because it's a glimpse of

another world of a man who understood here in the 21st century we're going to struggle with tolerance. What do we need to know

about his education and his skills and why he was chosen for the court?

So he's, I'm so glad that you liked him because he's one of my favorite figures and one of the one of the great pleasures of writing this book was spending time with his children and grandchildren in Calcutta who very generously shared memories of their father and their grandfather.

He is from, you know, an absolutely self-made man who brought himself up from rural poverty in Bengal, part of British India,

to rise to be at the pinnacle of academia in in Bengal at the time. He's the head of a great university in Calcutta and is a very impressive legal scholar.
