This book by A.J.P. Taylor came up once on Tim Ferriss in the episodes we index. That mention was a genuine on-air recommendation, not just a passing reference. The people who brought it up: Niall Ferguson. Every occurrence below links to the episode page and to the exact second it was said on YouTube.
“One of the most controversial books he ever wrote was a book on the origins of the Second World War, in which he argued very paradoxically as a contrarian”— Niall Ferguson
The guest here is Niall Ferguson: Historian, Hoover Institution senior fellow, author of 16 books (including Kissinger, Civilization, and Doom), and founder of advisory firm Greenmantle. Historian Niall Ferguson argues we've already entered Cold War II with China, with Taiwan as the new Cuba-style flashpoint.
