War has played a key role in the history of the United States from the nation’s founding right down to the present. Wars made the U. S. independent, kept it together, increased its size, and established it as a global superpower. Understanding America’s wars is essential for understanding American history. In the Key Battles of American History, host James Early discusses American history through the lens of the most important battles of America’s wars. James is an Adjunct Professor of History at San Jacinto College in Pasadena, TX. He has published one book and two scholarly articles. He is also the cohost (with Scott Rank) of the Presidential Fight Club, Key Battles of the Civil War, Key Battles of the Revolutionary War, and Key Battles of World War I podcasts. Mundial

I have been listening to this WW2 Pacific series over the last several weeks. I thought I already knew quite a bit about the Pacific theater, but James and Scott delve into the unfolding events with a conversational enthusiasm that makes each episode a fun, educational listen: Perfect for walking the dog, working in the yard, or working out at the gym. The anecdotes and humorous asides - as well as the interaction between the two hosts - add so much to the factual narrative. It's all about the stories. Their style engages the listener's imagination more that would a dry recitation of facts and events.
I had the privilege to hear the advance "extra episode" on the Marine Raider battalions, including Carlson's Raiders, which was extraordinary!
Even if you have a passing interest in American History or the War in the Pacific after watching old movies, you should check this out on whatever podcast catcher is your favorite and give this a listen!

Great Storytelling about real history!
