This week, The Alarmist (Rebecca Delgado Smith) welcomes friend Josh Corey, host of the podcast From Writer To Fighter , to discuss the incredibly short and incredibly destructive Anglo-Zanzibar War. They’re joined by Fact Checker Faryn Einhorn and Producer Clayton Early. A war that unfolded in as little as 48 minutes, was this the British Empire flexing their military power? Could the newly self appointed Sultan, Khalid Ibn Barghash have something to do with it? Or perhaps a shared hunger for power is to blame?  Join our Patreon!
