  • Resumen

  • A fast-moving history of the western world from the ancient world to the present day. Examine how the emergence of the western world as a global dominant power was not something that should ever have been taken for granted. This podcast traces the development of western civilization starting in the ancient Near East, through Greece and Rome, past the collapse of the Western Roman Empire into the Dark Ages, and then follows European and, ultimately, American history as the western world moved into a dominant world position.

  • The Year That Made America

    The Year That Made America
    Apr 22 2025
    Today, I sit down with Tom McMillan and discuss his most recent book: The Year That Made America: From Rebellion to Independence, 1775-1776.

    This gripping account reveals the precarious path to American independence through a series of pivotal dates that history has nearly forgotten. While July 4th claims the glory, the actual vote for independence came on July 2nd—and even that historic moment almost didn't happen. From January's publication of Common Sense to December's darkest hours of the Revolution, McMillan reconstructs the dramatic months when rebellious colonies transformed into a new nation.
    Through meticulous research and compelling storytelling, the book reveals:
    • How the pivotal events of May 15, June 7, and July 2 shaped America's destiny
    • Why Congress's bold January declaration triggered a chain of unstoppable events
    • The behind-the-scenes feud between Adams and Jefferson on their views of government after independence was won
    • How the Declaration's influence extended from Lincoln's Gettysburg Address to modern times
    This timely narrative strips away the myths to expose the raw political courage that launched a revolution. From heated Congressional debates to the dangerous aftermath of declaring independence, McMillan delivers a fresh perspective on America's founding that resonates powerfully with today's political challenges.
