Bernice Lerner is an author and senior scholar at Boston University's Center for Character and Social Responsibility. Bernice joins us to introduce us to her mother, one of the main characters, subjects of her new book: All the Horrors of War--A Jewish Girl, A British Doctor, and the Liberation of Bergen-Belsen. This is a war story different than any we have read or seen before. We are at the 75th anniversary of the end of WWII. We can commemorate it with reading 2 new perspectives of that time--truly compelling stories. Bernice's mother, Ruth Mermelstein, was just 14 when her family was ripped from their Romania home in 1944. The fact she and 1 sister survived the horrific concentration camp can only be thought of as miraculous. www.bernicelerner.com

Buckle up, kids - IT'S U.S. FOREIGN POLICY TIME. Comrade Jason returns to bring the critical fire in a discussion about John Meirsheimer's book, The Great Delusion: Liberal Dreams and International Realities. We talk in-depth about the liberal interventionist foreign policy establishment in Washington D.C. (AKA THE BLOB), the overlap between the Koch brothers and anti-interventionist approaches for progressives, and about what sort of strategy could realistically help put a check on the U.S.'s interventions in countries like Iran or Venezuela. At the end of the podcast, we unexpectedly find ourselves in a discussion about offering some comradely critique of the current approaches to combating the U.S. foreign policy establishment on the Left advocated by groups like the DSA or the publications of Jacobin. Surprise! It will require a mass anti-imperialist, anti-war movement to give any of those approaches teeth.   Jason also brings in a ton of references and extra sources for the inspired comrade-listener which you can find below: Further Reading: Daniel Bessner's Article on Public Intellectuals Patrick Porter's CATO Institute Piece "Well, Hello, Fellow Anti-Interventionists" - Koch Brothers Benjamin Page's Book on Foreign Policy Disconnect from U.S. Aristocracy  Angela Nagle's Article Against Open Borders  References Made in the Episode This Week: The Rohingya people are a stateless Indo-Aryan ethnic group who reside in Rakhine State, Myanmar (previously known as Burma).

A True Crime Story and The Birth of Forensic Science. Starr eloquently juxtaposes the crimes of French serial killer Joseph Vacher and the achievements of famed criminologist Dr. Alexandre Lacassagne during France's belle époque. From 1894 to 1897, Vacher is thought to have raped, killed, and mutilated at least 25 people, though he would confess to only 11 murders. Lacassagne, who headed the department of legal medicine at the university in Lyon, was a pioneer in crime scene analysis, body decomposition, and early profiling, and investigated suspicious deaths, all in an era when rural autopsies were often performed on the victim's dinner table. Lacassagne's contributions to the burgeoning field of forensic science, as well as the persistence of investigating magistrate Émile Fourquet, who connected crimes while crisscrossing the French countryside, eventually brought Vacher to justice. Vacher claimed insanity, which then (as now) was a vexed legal issue. Lacassagne proved the "systematic nature" of the crimes. Starr, codirector of Boston University's Center for Science and Medical Journalism, creates tension worthy of a thriller; in Lacassagne, he portrays a man determined to understand the "how" behind some of humanity's most depraved and perhaps take us one step closer to the "why."
