When Diplomacy Fails

Zack Twamley — independent historian specialising in the origins of modern conflicts

Zack Twamley working through the political and military origins of major wars, often on multiple parallel tracks — currently a day-by-day July Crisis 1914 series alongside the Thirty Years' War. Strong on the diplomatic build-up and the early campaigns; less consistent once the wars settle into operational grind. The closest thing podcasting has to a comprehensive military-diplomatic history of the modern era.
