Hello, guerrilla history listeners. This is one of your co-hosts, Henry Huckimacki. What we're

bringing for you today is the audio recording of a Twitter space that we just hosted with two

of our friends, Professor Alexander Avina, who of course has been on the show several times,

and we have plans for more episodes with Alex. Do not worry. As well as Professor

Brennan Wolf Honeycutt, who was the

latest guest on guerrilla history, talking about his book, The Paranoid Style in American

Diplomacy, Oil and Arab Nationalism in Iraq. If you haven't heard that episode yet, I would

highly recommend you going back and listening to that previous episode. It's the last episode in the

feed before this with Brandon talking about his book. The episode is about three hours long and

it's an incredibly interesting episode. But after that episode came out, Alex and Brandon had gotten

in contact and said, you know, they wanted to meet with each other. And we figured, well,

what better way to meet each other than having a Twitter space and also having some audience questions with it? It was originally supposed to be a pretty informal thing. I was the only

host that ended up being able to make it as you'll hear during the recording. But what ended up

happening is we had almost an hour and 40 minutes of a conversation

that was really fascinating. And so we wanted to bring this, what was supposed to be, an informal

meeting to everybody to be able to hear because there is some really interesting things that

happen in this space. The only other preface that I'm going to make before we get into the space is that

because it was recorded as a Twitter space, we were all only able to record from our phones.

We weren't able to use any good microphones or anything like that.

So the audio quality is not going to be quite as nice as what you're hearing now,

as well as what you're used to with guerrilla history.

But rest assured, the audio quality is fine. It's just not quite that, you know,
