This show could also have been called "Violent Reflections" as Dan repurposes old work he did on the revolutionary era of the late 1960s. This is NOT a deep HH-style look at the period, but is instead a brief gaze at a potential "Past is Prologue" moment.

Agricola and Germania by Tacitus 2. A Most Dangerous Book: Tacitus's Germania from the Roman Empire to the Third Reich by Christopher B. Krebs

As you might imagine, military aircraft feature prominently in the conversation. 1. The Wages of destruction by Adam Tooze2.
