Summary

In this episode, we welcome Michael Walsh to the show. He is the author of many novels and nonfiction books, including his newest book “A Rage to Conquer: Twelve Battles That Changed the Course of Western History”. In this interview, we discuss what is inside a man that makes him dream of fighting in a last stand, how a real-world last that his father participated in shaped him personally, why war is a necessity and a masculine preserve, the importance of studying Achilles even if he in fact did not exist, the connection between Achilles and Alexander the Great, why men are willing to die for great male leaders, how the United States lost the “Battle of 9/11”, why he thinks George W. Bush did not succeed in the wars in the Middle East, how the United States lost her ability to actually win wars, and much more. Let’s get into it… Episode notes and links HERE.
