The Rogue Historian

I love discussing reconciliation - I mean...it's kinda my thing. In this episode, we take on reconciliation by casting a wider net... and look at Paul and Jim's latest book, Reconciliation after Civil Wars: Global Perspectives . 

Gary and I continue our conversation covering the themes in his latest book: The Enduring Civil War - and even take questions from Twitter! How cool is that? 

The first of a two-part episode in which Gary and I discuss his latest book, The Enduring Civil War: Reflections on the Great American Crisis . This collection of 71 essay will surely captivate anyone interested in the war...and we address a number of themes in the book. 

Tammy and I discuss her forthcoming book on organized crime in Phenix City, Alabama. Guess what. I had no idea about any of this. Seriously...mind = blown. 

Ken and I discuss the use and legacy of landmines in the Civil War...and Ken's work to ban the use of landmines worldwide, as explained in his latest book: America's Buried History . 

MY 100th EPISODE!!! I discuss the Confederate experiment in nationhood with Dr. Stephanie McCurry...and especially her book Confederate Reckoning . 

I chat with historian of Early America Michael Hattem, author of the forthcoming Past and Prologue: Politics and Memory in the American Revolution , about the work of Bernard Bailyn...and the convo is fascinating. This is the first in a series of discussions concerning major figures in American historiography - enjoy!! 

Ann and I chat about her new book: Newest Born of Nations - which details the liberal/conservative tensions embedded within Confederate nationalism in a 19th-century international context.   

Poetry and progressive politics frame the backdrop for this fascinating story - I sit down with Sherry to discuss her latest book: Bohemians West

I sit down with Cody to talk through some of the ideas in his latest: Not Even Past: The Stories We Keep Telling about the Civil War . I love this stuff...and we had a great convo! 

I sit down to discuss Dan's latest book: The Lost Tradition of Economic Equality in America . Listen up!! Some of these things might sound awfully familiar to you...and they go WAY back! 

I sit down with Megan and Laura to take on some particulars of the Civil War era which help us explain the war broadly defined....all outlined in their new book, American Discord: The Republic and Its People in the Civil War Era . 

Tom and I discuss his latest book, Island on Fire - about the 1831-32 slave revolt in Jamaica. 

I am very much looking forward to using Judkin and Tim's new book, An Environmental History of the Civil War in my own classroom - today we discuss some of the salient points in the book. 

Hey all - if you listen to just one of my shows...listen to this one.  Dr. Green and I discuss the current efforts to remove Confederate monuments across the South and why this changing narrative is so vastly significant.  

Oh yes...the slave trade in the Confederacy was as vibrant as ever - I talk with Dr. Robert Colby about what all that means....and it's fascinating stuff, y'all. 

Get up to speed on the July 2, 1863 fun with Dan Sickles, James Longstreet and what was going on at the Peach Orchard. We talk about his new book on the subject and sort through the confusion. 

For the longest time, scholars thought of "Atlantic History" as an 18th century phenomenon. Niels and I take another look - at the so-called "long 19th century" and discuss his latest book on the subject: Atlantic History in the 19th Century . 

Every year John takes my Civil War students around the Gettysburg battlefield and shows them the WWI and WWII hot spots. We couldn't go this year - because...you know, lock down. So we talked it out. 

David and I discuss his fantastic new book, Raising the White Flag . You should get a copy...you can thank me later :) 

Adam and I discuss his NEW book, The False Cause: Fraud, Fabrication, and White Supremacy in Confederate Memory - ANNNNNDDDDDD....talking about this stuff in the classroom and on the Interwebs. 

Megan and I discuss her latest book, The Three-Cornered War ...and she explains why the Civil War in the western territories was so important. 

My review of Evan Kutzler's new book, Living by Inches: The Smells, Sounds, Tastes, and Feeling of Captivity in Civil War Prisons - and listen to the interview too...at theroguehistorian.com

I am super stoked to speak with Evan about his new book, Living by Inches: The Smells, Sounds, Tastes, and Feeling of Captivity in Civil War Prisons - we take on the lived experience of POWs - what it smelled, sounded, and tasted like. Maybe you shouldn't listen before you eat :) 

What does it mean to be a "fan" of the Civil War? I asked the Civil War Fangirl - Mary Fincher, co-host of the Railsplitter Podcast - to find out.
