Dan Carlin’s Hardcore History

[Celestial Trailblazer]

I’ve always had an interest in history but growing up I’ve come to realize I don’t enjoy the typical textbook history. I’ve discovered a podcaster by the name of Dan Carlin provides both an entertaining and enlightening series of podcasts.

 

He spends months, up to four or even half a year, sometimes even a whole year, researching a given topic on history and tries to provide a non biased view of events from both sides of history from first hand accounts, soldiers letters, and books from sources he provides. 
 

This series is about the Nation of Japan and how their culture changed during and after WWll. 
 

This podcast episode takes a look at humanity and weapons of mass destruction. Can humans be capable of handling such frightening power? How can we know? The focus of this one looks towards the creation of the atom bombs and nuclear warfare and how people have viewed such manmade creations of devastation.
