Summary

Rick Atkinson, Pulitzer prize-winning historian and author of The Revolution Trilogy and The Liberation Trilogy, sat down with Strategerist host Andrew Kaufmann to reflect on the idea of perspective and history; how to make judgment calls with 250-year-old material; and how to approach the cliff hanger when the story has already been told many times before.
