Dan Carlin's Hardcore History Podcast Show 50 - Blueprint for Armageddon
part I

The planet hadn't seen a major war between all the Great Powers since the
downfall of Napoleon at Waterloo in 1815. But 99 years later the dam breaks
and a Pandora's Box of violence engulfs the planet.



This Podcast consist of 6 shows ranging from 3-5 hours per show.  Yu can
listen to all or just some of the shows before we meet at the end of March.



More about Dan’s Podcast…  In "Hardcore History" the very unconventional
Dan Carlin takes his "Martian", outside-the-box way of thinking and applies
it to the past. Was Alexander the Great as bad a person as Adolf Hitler?
What would Apaches with modern weapons be like? Will our modern
civilization ever fall like civilizations from past eras? This is a
difficult-to-classify show that has a rather sharp edge. It's not for
everyone. But the innovative style and approach has made "Dan Carlin's
Hardcore History" a New Media hit.
