Every week, Hillsdale College President Larry Arne joins Hugh Hewitt to discuss great books,

great men, and great ideas. This is Hillsdale Dialogues, part of the Hillsdale College

Podcast Network. More episodes at podcast.

com.hillsdale.edu or wherever you find your audio.

Morning, glory, and evening, Grace, America.

I'm Hugh Hewitt.

That music means the Hillsdale dialogue is underway once a week.

Dr. Larry Arne and I, or one of his colleagues, sit down

and talk about great books, great moments, great bits of history, so that you might be smarter

in the way that Hillsdale College students are smarter. If you want to go to Hillsdale, you need

an application, that's at Hillsdale.edu. If you want to get smart via their online courses,

there's a brand new one about rhetoric, how to talk, how to persuade, available at hillsdale.edu. All of our conversations are collected at hugh for hillsdale.com. For most of the last year, we've been going through this. Volume 1 of Winston Churchill's War Memoirs for the Second World War, the Gathering Storm. Now, we've been off for about six weeks from this.

So I want to remind you where we are.

War is broken out.

We're in chapters 26 through 29.

We've not been this ambitious before to cover this much ground.

But I thought we'd try and get a little pedal to the metal because there's so much ground to cover in this war.

But Dr. Aaron, every time I try and go fast, I go, so let's talk first about the front in France and how it was Churchill's job to get the British Expeditionary Force across the channel.

Straits of Moos are much in the news.

Imagine trying to get with a bunch of submarine, Nazi submarine,

trying to get the British Expeditionary Force across the Channel in 1939.

I think maybe people might be more focused on it now.
