Morning Glory America,

America, Bonjor, Canada that music means we are here for the Hilldale Dialogue

our weekly climb up the mountain of something important.

Sometimes it's current event like last week, sometimes

two weeks ago we did sort of our intro to Plato where we'll be going in August and September.

But over the next three weeks, Dr. Laryana you see right there president of

Hilldale College and I are going to climb the last mountain on the world

crisis and we could actually spend another year on it Dr. Rana I know you

don't want to but you think we could spend another year on this?

Yeah I want to let's do it. It's a very great book and there's a lot of you know

Churchill's soon There's a lot of you know, soon, it's the 150th anniversary of his birth is in November this year.

So he had been dead a long time, right?

And, but he had a wonderful ability to look beyond and see the deep things

going on. And they're the same things that are then that are going on

now.

This is the same things that are going on now. This is our last chapter on this volume, volume 3 of the world crisis is

1916 and 1918. And just to comment on that, Dr Arne, we spent all this time

getting to 1916. So 1914, the war begins in August, goes all the way through 1915, and today we're talking about the Battle of the Somme.

I wish I knew French geography better than I did.

There are good maps in the Bloomsbury edition, but the immensity of this battle that

began on March 21st,

1916, it did not conclude really until the fall.
