We have another SPECIAL episode of the - The Author Spotlight for August 2023.
This month's featured author is none other than Victor Davis Hanson and I will make the claim that he is the hardest working and the most intelligent military historian still living in the world. Big shoes to fill, I know but please tune to this special episode to hear me make that very case.
For all the students of history, have you ever wondered why the West has dominated the military scene for centuries?
This episode unravels the fascinating insights of this unique historian and author Victor Davis Hansen, and we promise it'll change how you perceive warfare and power structures and politics.
Key Points from the Episode:
- We kick off our deep dive with a discussion of Hansen's groundbreaking book Carnage and Culture. It explores the parallels between ancient warfare and modern conflicts, offering an enlightening perspective on how freedom, individualism, and civic militarism have played crucial roles in the West's military supremacy.
- The conversation doesn't stop there. We offer an eye-opening perspective on the hot-button issue of illegal immigration through the lens of Hansen's book 'Mexifonia'.
- Additionally, we uncover invaluable leadership strategies and war tactics through the dissection of 'The Savior Generals'. Our exploration extends to the Civil War era, where we illuminate the strategic genius of General Sherman and how eleventh-hour generals rise from the ranks to quell conflicts ignited by their superiors.
- Whether it's comprehending the complexities surrounding illegal immigration, appreciating Ulysses S Grant's role during the Civil War, or understanding William Tecumseh Sherman's capture of Atlanta, Victor Davis Hanson' books and writings promise to stir your curiosity and reshape your understanding of history, politics, and warfare. Trust us, history buffs and political enthusiasts, this is one conversation you won't want to miss.

00:00:07.608 --> 00:00:20.806
Welcome to the Theory to Action podcast, where we examine the timeless treasures of wisdom from the great books in less time, to help you take action immediately and ultimately to create and lead a flourishing life.
00:00:20.806 --> 00:00:24.849
Now here's your host, David Kaiser.
00:00:26.842 --> 00:00:30.070
Hello, I am David and this is not a Mojo Minute.
00:00:30.070 --> 00:00:44.484
And if you can't tell from that background music, that catchy intro music, this is another author spotlight, and our author spotlight is that monthly segment where we feature some of the greatest writers and their works.
00:00:44.484 --> 00:00:58.566
It's like me sharing with a friend, you sharing with you those wonderful authors and those wonderful books that I enjoy and I'm hoping that you will enjoy too.
00:00:58.566 --> 00:01:08.819
Those are the types of episodes I've always loved, so we ask that you sit back and you enjoy this treat we have for you Now.
00:01:08.819 --> 00:01:28.225
Last month, we featured Brad Thor, the incredible political and military thriller writer, as the July 2023 recipient of the author and the spotlight, and so this month, this episode is featuring the August 2023 author in the spotlight and the ticket off this episode.
00:01:28.225 --> 00:01:34.069
Let me share some of my own thoughts about this author before we get into his biography.
00:01:35.560 --> 00:01:40.331
Now there are historians, and then there is Victor Davis Hansen.
00:01:40.331 --> 00:01:49.873
This guy has set the standard for all worldwide historians, which is a very, very high standard.
00:01:49.873 --> 00:02:10.447
We featured his writing in our last Liberty Minute, so be sure to check that out, and a quick summary of that Liberty Minute was this it was all about how we in the United States are facing one of the most radical revolutions since the decade, the 1850s running up to the Civil War.
00:02:10.447 --> 00:02:26.629
Those were very, very tumultuous times, and imagine that in over 160 years we have not faced more revolutionary times, more changes in our culture, than since the US Civil War.
00:02:26.629 --> 00:02:34.252
And let me tell you, victor Davis Hansen made that case convincingly with his writing.
00:02:35.479 --> 00:02:50.425
Now, with a career that spans decades, victor Davis Hansen has become an indomitable force in the realm of history, distinguishing himself with his unique insights, meticulous research and compelling narratives.
00:02:50.425 --> 00:02:54.108
Hansen's accomplishments are as vast as they are varied.
00:02:54.108 --> 00:03:06.991
His work primarily focuses on ancient Greek warfare and culture, but has fundamentally reshaped our understanding of the classical world and the early part of Hansen's career.
00:03:06.991 --> 00:03:24.211
Through his books like the Western Way of War, infantry Battle in Classical Greek and Hoplites the Classical Greek battle experience, he has breathed new life into the stories of the past, making them accessible and engaging for both scholars and general readers alike.
00:03:25.439 --> 00:03:56.268
But what truly sets Victor Davis Hansen apart is the depth of his perspective, and why I love him and his writings is his deep, deep ability to draw connections between ancient warfare and contemporary conflicts, as in the example of his book Carnage and Culture, landmark Battles in the Rise to Western Power, where he demonstrates a rare breath of understanding that transcends time and geography.
00:03:56.268 --> 00:04:09.393
I first discovered Victor probably sometime after 9-11, maybe in the middle of the George W Bush presidency, sometime in 2005 or 2006, and that's where I discovered this book.
00:04:09.393 --> 00:04:23.692
In fact, let's go to the book Carnage and Culture for an excerpt of Victor Davis Hansen's excellent writing, and let me read from the back of the book just to give you a sense of the book's scope.
00:04:23.692 --> 00:04:34.331
Ah, actually, before we do that, I just realized, looking down at my notes, that we have not done we have not talked about Victor's biography.
00:04:34.480 --> 00:04:42.603
I could read a long, long biography about him, but that would not do anybody justice, especially Victor.
00:04:42.603 --> 00:04:49.867
He would simply want to say that he is the senior fellow in military history at the Hoover Institution at Stanford University.
00:04:49.867 --> 00:04:55.170
He's also a professor emeritus of classics at Cal State Fresno.
00:04:55.170 --> 00:05:04.565
He is the author of over two dozen books, and most recently those books are the Second World Wars and the Case for Trump.
00:05:04.565 --> 00:05:12.805
He lives in Selma, california, but right now we're going to go back and talk about one of his earlier books, which is Carnage and Culture.
00:05:12.805 --> 00:05:18.071
And now let me read from the back of that book so we understand its context.
00:05:20.504 --> 00:05:36.322
Examinin nine landmark battles from ancient to modern times, from Salamis, where outnumbered Greeks devastated the slave army of Xerxes, to Cortez's conquest of Mexico, to the Tet Offensive, victor Davis.
00:05:36.322 --> 00:05:43.807
Hansen explains why the armies of the West have been the most lethal and effective of any fighting forces in the world.
00:05:43.807 --> 00:06:27.290
Being beyond popular explanations such as geography or superior technology, hansen argues that it is in fact Western culture and values, the tradition of descent, the value placed on inventiveness and adaptation, the concept of citizenship, which have consistently produced superior arms and soldiers, offering riveting battle narratives and balanced perspective that avoids simple triumphalism, carnage and culture, demonstrates how armies cannot be separated from the cultures that produce them and explains why an army produced by a free culture will always have the advantage.
00:06:27.290 --> 00:06:40.812
Now that offers some compelling, compelling reading, and with that we are going to dive deep into carnage and culture with our first pull quote.
00:06:40.812 --> 00:06:51.509
The West has achieved military dominance in a variety of ways that transcend mere superiority in weapons and has nothing to do with morality or genes.
00:06:51.509 --> 00:07:05.132
The Western way of war is so lethal precisely because it is so amoral, shackled rarely by concerns of ritual tradition, religion or ethics, by anything other than military necessity.
00:07:05.132 --> 00:07:22.788
We should not be held captive by technological determinism, as if the tools of war appear in a vacuum and magically transform warfare without much thought of either how or why they were created, or how or why they were used.
00:07:22.788 --> 00:07:28.954
Even the monopoly of superior Western technology and science has not always been true.
00:07:28.954 --> 00:07:35.730
Themistocles' triumphs at Salamis were no better than Xerxes.
00:07:35.730 --> 00:07:41.750
Admiral Nagumo's carriers at Medway had better planes than the Americans did.
00:07:42.899 --> 00:07:54.523
The status of freedom, individualism, civic militarism at those battles, however, was vastly different among the opposing forces, as these encounters reveal.
00:07:54.523 --> 00:08:10.470
On nearly every occasion, it was not merely the superior weapons of European soldiers, but a host of other factors, including organization, discipline, morale, initiative, flexibility and command, that led to Western advantages.
00:08:10.470 --> 00:08:17.490
Western armies often fight with and for a sense of legal freedom.
00:08:17.490 --> 00:08:28.048
They are frequently products of civic militarism or constitutional governments and thus are overseen by their outside religion and the military itself.
00:08:28.048 --> 00:08:33.470
The rare word citizen exists in the European vocabularies.
00:08:33.470 --> 00:08:49.227
Heavy infantry is also a particular Western strength, not surprising when Western societies put up or put a high premium on property, and land is often held by a wide stratum of society.
00:08:50.600 --> 00:09:09.873
As free inquiry and rationalism are Western trademarks, european armies have marched a war with weapons either superior or equal to their adversaries and have often been supplied far more lavishly through the Western marriage of capitalism, finance and sophisticated logistics.
00:09:09.873 --> 00:09:23.866
By the same token, europeans have been quick to alter tactics, steal foreign breakthroughs and borrow inventions when, in the marketplace of ideas, their own traditional tactics and arms have been found wanting.
00:09:23.866 --> 00:09:40.022
Western capitalist and scientist alike have been singularly pragmatic and utilitarian with no, with little to no, fear from religious fundamentalist state sensors or stern cultural conservatives.
00:09:40.022 --> 00:09:45.996
Western warring is often an extension of the idea of state politics.
00:09:45.996 --> 00:09:50.389
Rather than a mere effort to obtain territory, personal status, wealth or revenge.
00:09:50.389 --> 00:10:04.471
Western militaries put a high premium on individualism and they are often subject to criticism and civilian complaint that may improve rather than erode their war-making ability.
00:10:05.840 --> 00:10:21.405
The idea of annihilation, of head-to-head battle that destroys the enemy, seems a particularly Western concept, largely unfamiliar to the ritualistic fighting and emphasis on deception and attrition found outside of Europe.
00:10:21.405 --> 00:10:32.669
There has never been anything like the samurai, the morris or flower wars in the West since the earliest erosion of protocols of ancient Greek hoplite battle.
00:10:32.669 --> 00:10:38.294
Researchers, in short, long ago saw war as a method of doing what politics cannot.
00:10:38.294 --> 00:10:46.030
Thus are willing to obliterate rather than check or humiliate anyone who stand in their way.
00:10:46.030 --> 00:10:53.520
And that was a long, long series of paragraphs from Victor Davis Hansen and the Carnage of Culture.
00:10:53.520 --> 00:10:57.346
But it's just fantastic analysis.
00:10:57.346 --> 00:11:00.184
But where else do you get this much depth?
00:11:00.184 --> 00:11:21.474
Looking at history from all angles, some nuggets of wisdom that Hansen had uncovered was that freedom, individualism, civic militarism and, later on, capitalism and sophisticated logistics are all hallmarks of the Western way of war.
00:11:21.474 --> 00:11:26.148
And it was really how the West has gained more power than it really knows.
00:11:26.148 --> 00:11:27.932
In and of itself.
00:11:27.932 --> 00:11:33.751
It has much more power than even it can conceive of itself.
00:11:33.751 --> 00:11:38.931
In fact, victor Davis Hansen addresses this very point.
00:11:38.931 --> 00:11:40.101
Let's go back to the book.
00:11:42.639 --> 00:11:53.049
Yet much of what courageous Westerners accomplished must be seen in an overall cultural landscape that afforded them inherent military advantages not usually shared by their adversaries.
00:11:53.049 --> 00:12:04.529
We must be careful not to judge the record of Western military skill in absolute terms, but always in a relative context vis-à-vis the conditions of the times.
00:12:04.529 --> 00:12:40.568
Scholars can argue over the effectiveness of Western arms, the impressive power of Chinese and Indian armies, the occasional slaughter of European colonial forces, but in all such debate they must keep in mind that non-European forces did not, with any frequency or for long duration, navigate the globe, borrowed rather than imparted military technology, did not colonize three new continents and usually fought Europeans at home rather than in Europe, although important exceptions should always be noted.
00:12:40.568 --> 00:12:49.750
Generalization, so long avoided by academics out of either fear or ignorance, is indispensable in the writing of history.
00:12:49.750 --> 00:13:26.561
An examination of these battles shall show, throughout the long evolution of Western warfare, there has existed a more or less common core of practices that reappears generation after generation, sometimes piecemeal, at other times in nearly holistic fashion, which explains why the history of warfare is so often the brutal history of Western victory and why, today, deadly Western armies have little to fear from any force other than themselves, any force other than themselves.
00:13:26.561 --> 00:13:41.929
Now this book, carnage and Culture, came out first in Great Britain and did so under the title of why the West has Won Nine Landmark Battles in the Brutal History of Western Victory.
00:13:41.929 --> 00:13:43.296
So just be aware of that.
00:13:43.296 --> 00:13:45.905
It is exactly the same book.
00:13:45.905 --> 00:13:57.448
I actually bought both books is how I discovered this fact, but no matter, it is a great book nonetheless, and I was more than happy to help Victor out by buying two of his books.
00:13:57.448 --> 00:14:00.095
Now, Victor Davis.
00:14:00.134 --> 00:14:03.610
Hansen's influence extends well beyond the written word.
00:14:03.610 --> 00:14:22.567
He lectures, he gives great interviews, he's reached worldwide audiences with enlightening minds and sparking discussions on topics ranging from the agrarian roots of Western civilization to the future of education and classics.
00:14:22.567 --> 00:14:40.649
His book who Killed Homer, the Demise of Classical Education and the Recovery of Greek Wisdom is a testament to his commitment to preserving and promoting the classical, the study of the classical world, and certainly that book was right up my alley, because I just love classics.
00:14:40.649 --> 00:14:58.846
Moreover, hansen's work on the intersection of history and current affairs, as exhibited in the book Mechsophonia, a state of becoming, shows his versatility as a historian and his ability to apply historical lessons to modern issues.
00:14:58.846 --> 00:15:04.226
Now, mechsophonia was kind of a personal memoir for Victor.
00:15:04.226 --> 00:15:23.660
Reason being is Victor was born in Selma, california, in the heart of the San Joaquin Valley, and in fact he grew up in the same house that he was born in, and that family has gone back five generations.
00:15:24.864 --> 00:15:25.144
In fact.
00:15:25.144 --> 00:15:26.609
It was a farming family.
00:15:26.609 --> 00:15:37.905
His dad was a farmer and his dad's dad was a farmer, and his dad's dad dad was a farmer, and in fact so much so that Victor has carried on the practice.
00:15:37.905 --> 00:15:44.466
In addition to being a college professor, he has continued to be a farmer.
00:15:44.466 --> 00:15:49.061
Now I'm not going to talk long about Victor being a farmer.
00:15:49.623 --> 00:15:56.626
He gives a great, wonderful interview on a program that I absolutely love called Uncommon Knowledge.
00:15:56.626 --> 00:15:58.518
It's put out by the Hoover Institution.
00:15:58.518 --> 00:16:06.269
It's led by a guy named Peter Robinson who used to work for Ronald Reagan, and Peter Robinson is one of the great interviewers.
00:16:06.269 --> 00:16:29.307
You guys know I like Brian Lam with C-Span, but Peter Robinson is probably my second favorite interviewer because he asks great questions and then he shuts up and gets out of the way and allows the interview to give the answer and then he asks very pertinent and engaging questions as follow-ups.
00:16:29.307 --> 00:16:40.485
So I'm going to put a two-part series where Peter Robinson interviews long interviews Victor Davis Hansen and he'll talk about his upbringing.
00:16:40.485 --> 00:16:52.206
He'll talk about his five generations of the family, including himself, that have been farmers and how that's changed radically in the last 20 to 30 years.
00:16:52.206 --> 00:17:12.767
So to keep this moving, we're going to move on to Mexifonia, which we mentioned before was a kind of a personal memoir for Victor, and we're going to open that reading up in the second edition, the preface of the second edition.
00:17:12.767 --> 00:17:18.518
And again this this book is first published in 2003.
00:17:18.518 --> 00:17:26.932
It was actually in the middle of California's GUM Natorial Recall Election in autumn of 2003 when the book was published.
00:17:26.932 --> 00:17:38.140
But we are going to pick up this preference in 2007 when Victor is writing looking back on the first publication of the book.
00:17:38.140 --> 00:17:39.287
Let's go to the book.
00:17:41.392 --> 00:18:00.796
Since the publication of Mexifonia, I have discussed the book's merits in hundreds of radio appearances, informal debates with reasonable critics such as Bernardo Menendez, the Mexican Trade and Press Council in San Francisco and the essayist Richard Rodriguez.
00:18:00.796 --> 00:18:03.330
Out lectures on university campuses.
00:18:03.330 --> 00:18:05.964
I have been shouted down by disruptive hecklers.
00:18:05.964 --> 00:18:11.811
There was an especially unpleasant experience at the University of Oregon on February 11th 2004.
00:18:11.811 --> 00:18:23.172
When protesters took over the first row of the seats, waving placards during my speech and blocking the audience's view without any remonstration from university officials.
00:18:23.172 --> 00:18:27.451
In heated debates, I was often asked why did you write this book?
00:18:28.615 --> 00:18:43.662
We now forget that just a few years earlier, in the age of rolling amnesty, bilingual education and NAFTA exuberance, the status of millions of Mexican nationals in our midst was mostly a taboo subject.
00:18:43.662 --> 00:18:50.250
Anyone who wrote a book with a title like Mexifonia would have been considered an unhinged zealot.
00:18:50.250 --> 00:18:53.215
We're, at best, a nagging Cassandra.
00:18:53.215 --> 00:19:04.396
Mexifonia, in fact, was originally a term of appropriation used by activists who were enthusiastic about California's changing demography.
00:19:04.396 --> 00:19:12.672
Yet the left considered the book's title, as well as its arguments, to be unduly harsh to newcomers from Mexico.
00:19:12.672 --> 00:19:23.646
The right, on the other hand, welcomed the book as a as giving long overdue attention to a scandal ignored by the mainstream Republican Party.
00:19:24.650 --> 00:19:27.958
Fast forward four years and the climate has radically changed.
00:19:27.958 --> 00:19:40.569
Today, the arguments of Mexifonia closed the borders, returned to the melting pot, offered earned citizenship to most aliens in exchange for acceptance of English and American culture seem almost tame.
00:19:40.569 --> 00:19:43.074
Wow.
00:19:43.074 --> 00:20:01.388
You can see from 2003 to 2007, when this preface was written, that the landscape has indeed changed and in fact, as we talk here in 2023, california is suffering mightily from all these things and even more.
00:20:01.388 --> 00:20:07.185
But at the root of most of their problems is illegal immigration.
00:20:07.185 --> 00:20:08.308
They've never addressed that.
00:20:08.308 --> 00:20:13.568
It has gone on and on since the late 1980s.
00:20:15.053 --> 00:20:20.347
Now one last quote from Victor Davis Hansen's analysis on Mexifonia.
00:20:20.347 --> 00:20:22.434
It's a wonderful, short little book.
00:20:22.434 --> 00:20:33.871
I recommend all of you to read it because it gives you a good backdrop and a good context to the illegal immigration debate that we're trying to have right now.
00:20:33.871 --> 00:20:36.256
That has never been fully resolved.
00:20:36.256 --> 00:20:37.767
Go on back to the book.
00:20:37.767 --> 00:20:48.928
As I warned, in Mexifonia the debate will no longer split across liberal, conservative, republican, democrat or even white brown fault lines.
00:20:48.928 --> 00:21:00.887
Instead, class considerations Increasingly divide Americans on the issue, as does the public recognition of cynicism on the part of the employer in the Chicano lobbies.
00:21:01.809 --> 00:21:08.473
The majority of middle class and poor whites, asians, african Americans, hispanics wish to close the borders.
00:21:08.473 --> 00:21:26.887
They see a few advantages in cheap service labor, since they are not so likely to employ it to mow their lawns, watch their kids or clean their houses, because the less well off eat out less often, use hotels infrequently and don't periodically remodel their homes.
00:21:26.887 --> 00:21:33.073
The economic advantages of inexpensive, off the books illegal alien labor are not readily apparent.
00:21:33.073 --> 00:21:50.513
But the downside surely is truck drivers, carpenters, janitors, gardeners unlike lawyers, doctors, actors, writers and professors feel their jobs are threatened, or at least their wages lowered, by cheaper rival workers from Oaxaca or Jalisco.
00:21:50.513 --> 00:22:02.289
Americans who live in communities where thousands of illegal aliens have settled are likely to lack the money to move when Spanish-speaking students flood the schools and gangs proliferate.
00:22:02.289 --> 00:22:14.854
Poor Americans of all ethnic backgrounds acknowledge the poverty provides no exemption from mastering English, so they wonder why the same is not true for the incoming Mexican nationals.
00:22:16.345 --> 00:22:33.551
Again, fantastic analysis of an issue, political issue that not too many people can speak eloquently about or can get into the depths to understand an issue or a problem and then, in fact, come out with wonderful remedies.
00:22:33.551 --> 00:22:51.960
Victor Davis Hansen does that, and in fact, 2016 was the culmination of this book, I believe, where Donald Trump got more people to vote for him because he was going to do something about the border.
00:22:51.960 --> 00:23:05.047
Now he didn't follow through completely, but regardless, this issue continues to fester 25 years since the book's publication and Victor Davis Hansen's analysis is still spot on.
00:23:05.047 --> 00:23:20.731
So, moving on to our last book we're going to survey today in this author spotlight for Victor Davis Hansen as a book titled the Savior Generals, and this is where Hansen's expertise shines through.
00:23:20.731 --> 00:23:27.788
On every page, the book is filled with invaluable insights into the art of leadership and the science of war strategy.
00:23:27.788 --> 00:23:38.817
It should be a must read for anyone interested in these subjects, whether you're a student of history, military enthusiast or someone who seeks timeless leadership lessons.
00:23:38.817 --> 00:23:44.916
The Savior Generals is, in fact, a treasure trove of knowledge just waiting to be explored.
00:23:44.916 --> 00:23:55.250
Let me share with you some snippets which I think you will love, especially in the writing and the analysis in this book.
00:23:56.825 --> 00:24:00.012
This comes to us from the prologue of the Savior Generals.
00:24:00.012 --> 00:24:04.010
The title is Saving Lost Wars.
00:24:04.010 --> 00:24:07.592
How are wars won or lost?
00:24:07.592 --> 00:24:16.733
Through sheer luck, surprise morale, material resources, or does the outcome of conflict hinge on the advantages of superior manpower?
00:24:16.733 --> 00:24:22.634
Are more brilliant strategic planning and tactical protocols the keys to success?
00:24:22.634 --> 00:24:33.575
Then again, do armies win through lethal cutting edge technology, more accurate bombs, deadlier shells and longer range missiles?
00:24:33.575 --> 00:24:43.952
And do all these criteria shift and turn and hinge on how we define war as conventional, asymmetrical, counterinsurgent, terrorist or the like?
00:24:43.952 --> 00:24:50.074
All these considerations, and varying degrees, have always determined military success.
00:24:52.484 --> 00:25:04.934
Hernán Cortés' destruction of the Aztec Empire in 1591 or 1519, rather to 1521, was predicted largely on possessing better arms.
00:25:04.934 --> 00:25:17.736
The vastly outnumbered but well-led Spanish conquistadors had access to harbuses, artillery, steel swords, metal breastplates and helmets, horses and crossbows.
00:25:17.736 --> 00:25:30.534
While the Aztecs did not, spanish technology monopoly allowed a few hundred mounted knights to help enlist indigenous allies and end an empire of millions in roughly two years.
00:25:30.534 --> 00:25:48.375
And the industrial might of the United States often ensured that American forces in the distant Pacific during the Second World War simply had far more food, weapons, medical care and military infrastructure than did the imperial Japanese in their own environs.
00:25:48.375 --> 00:25:57.065
Nazi Germany's Wehrmacht was usually outnumbered through much of 1944 and 1945.
00:25:57.065 --> 00:26:13.249
Nevertheless, its superior machine guns, artillery and armor allowed spirited Germans to continue fighting when most other armies would have given up In the face of terrible strategic decision making, supply shortages and immoral cause in superior enemy numbers.
00:26:16.265 --> 00:26:18.932
But generals still matter.
00:26:18.932 --> 00:26:30.595
Yet on rare occasions generals in leadership of single individuals can still matter more than these seemingly larger inanimate forces.
00:26:30.595 --> 00:26:35.575
There are more than 900 admirals and generals in the US military.
00:26:35.575 --> 00:26:48.172
They are not often considered to be in a position, under the protocols of post-modern conflict, to alter radically the course of battlefield action, especially given the role of 21st century technology.
00:26:48.172 --> 00:27:03.385
Yet among them are a few rare military geniuses and inspired leaders who, when the planets line up, can still, by their own genius or lack of it, themselves either win or lose wars.
00:27:03.385 --> 00:27:18.913
Winston Churchill was not altogether wrong when he said of Admiral John Jellicoe's command of the British Grand Fleet in the First World War that he was quote the only man on either side who could lose the war in an afternoon.
00:27:18.913 --> 00:27:23.673
Now, winston Churchill was a funny dude and that is a funny comment.
00:27:23.673 --> 00:27:37.910
But Victor Davis Hansen really writes a wonderful book here in the Savior Generals, and in fact we're going to go back to the book because we're going to talk about how many books are that talk about?
00:27:37.910 --> 00:27:56.431
Great generals really miss the point, and his book is talking about where wars are lost and generals have come back to win them when they were seemingly lost and completely almost ready to capitulate.
00:27:56.431 --> 00:28:01.648
Let's go back to the book for Victor to give us his excellent analysis.
00:28:03.759 --> 00:28:29.352
An industry of military history also exists to chart how and why some generals proved great and most mediocre, usually singular imagination, daring, charisma, speaking ability, instinct, calm learning, physical robustness, relative youth and organizational mind are cited as the common gifts that, from Alexander to Napoleon, ensure success.
00:28:29.352 --> 00:28:46.508
Books on the untold secrets of the great generals appear each and every year, as do their antithesis, the aggregate lessons for modern leaders to be gleaned from the military disasters, errors and follies of abject incompetence.
00:28:46.508 --> 00:29:06.166
We assume that there is an indefinite profile of both successful and disastrous military leadership across time and space, and such patterns can be studied, copied and perhaps put to good use by those less naturally talented, from education to business.
00:29:06.166 --> 00:29:22.262
Rarely, however, do we read about saved rather than won or lost wars or generals who, in extremis, rescued rather than started or finished a war.
00:29:22.262 --> 00:29:42.526
Perhaps we neglect saviors who rescue unwise interventions, better written off as over and quickly forgotten, or we feel that they are more of a relief picture of sorts who can only preserve but not claim credit for the eventual successful efforts begun by their worn out predecessors.
00:29:43.407 --> 00:29:53.833
Yet often the best generals do not play in wars or assume control on the eve of the first battle, when instead the better connected marshals of peacetime bureaucracy exercise high profile command.
00:29:53.833 --> 00:29:58.931
Instead, the savior generals prove to be a subset of history's greatest captains.
00:29:58.931 --> 00:30:05.531
Such men emerge far later, from the lower echelons, when wars are almost lost.
00:30:05.531 --> 00:30:15.462
They arise only because their superiors are desperate and turn to the unlikely, to whom in normal circumstances they otherwise probably would not.
00:30:15.462 --> 00:30:31.082
These eleventh hour landscapes of battle, when most at home and officers in the field have given up on a war as irrevocably stalemated or lost, draw in a different sort of commander.
00:30:31.082 --> 00:30:40.647
Pre-war education, reputation, influence and rank matter little when the enemy is gaining ground and very few know how to turn him back.
00:30:40.647 --> 00:30:51.702
These quote firemen are asked to extinguish the conflagration that others of typically superior rank and prestige have ignited.
00:30:51.702 --> 00:31:02.162
Their moment signals a crisis of national confidence, when the general public of a consensual society may already have favored retreat or even lost hope in the cause.
00:31:02.162 --> 00:31:07.711
Oya to come to Sherman outside Atlanta in summer of 1864.
00:31:07.711 --> 00:31:12.604
Matthew Ridgway retreating from Seoul when wintered 1951.
00:31:12.604 --> 00:31:18.643
David Petraeus trying to save Anbar Province in Iraq in early 2007.
00:31:19.526 --> 00:31:26.025
For all their assertions of common confidence, privately knew that only results would win back public support.
00:31:26.025 --> 00:31:35.710
And in some sense winning against impossible odds when most others cannot and would not try Is the only mark of a great general.
00:31:35.710 --> 00:31:41.493
Ulysses S Grant certainly felt to be such a figure by spring of 1864.
00:31:41.493 --> 00:31:50.423
After he had come eastward to assume direct command of Union forces in Virginia that had been blood white since 1861.
00:31:50.423 --> 00:32:06.672
Yet by late summer 1864, all the Union dreams of ending the Civil War that year under General Grant have been nearly wrecked with the near destruction of the army of the Potomac in a series of horrific battles in Virginia.
00:32:06.672 --> 00:32:22.445
The disasters of the summer of 1864 led not to the doubts about the re not led not only two doubts about the reelection of Abraham Lincoln, but also to some initial worry over the president's renomination by his own party.
00:32:22.445 --> 00:32:33.864
Then, yet again, thanks in part to William Tecumseh the Sherman and the capture of Atlanta, the Union cause recovered and both Grant and Lincoln were given a reprieve.
00:32:33.864 --> 00:32:52.794
It proved hard for the northern public to give up completely on their unpopular president and the general responsible for the nightmare of Cold Harbor when suddenly Atlanta fell and a huge Union army in the west was freed to go where it pleased in the Confederate rear.
00:32:55.467 --> 00:33:04.968
Hopefully there you get an understanding of the depth and the breadth of Victor Davis Hansen's analysis and writing, especially around the Civil War.
00:33:04.968 --> 00:33:27.375
His research and his, frankly, his analysis is unparalleled by anyone that I have read and when you ask many people in those certain subsets of history, especially the Civil War, victor Davis Hansen is very, very well respected.
00:33:27.375 --> 00:33:42.079
We're going to have one more poll quote from we're going to stay with the Civil War and with William Tecumseh, sherman and Victor Davis and Victor Davis Hansen's analysis of the Sherman way of war.
00:33:42.079 --> 00:34:04.082
What was the Sherman way to lead troops from the front, as unkept looking Uncle Billy, or whether beaten old Sherman, but only after the most careful planning and organization had ensured that the army of the West would be both more numerous and better supplied than its enemy and would suffer fewer losses.
00:34:04.082 --> 00:34:06.209
And the Atlanta campaign.
00:34:06.209 --> 00:34:15.335
Sherman was almost killed twice at Adairsville and Cassville, where artillery and small arms fire shredded trees around the staff.
00:34:15.335 --> 00:34:21.451
Earlier at Shiloh he was wounded in the hand and lost three, three of his mounts.
00:34:22.614 --> 00:34:24.778
In general, sherman was impatient.
00:34:24.778 --> 00:34:31.016
As a general Sherman was impatient with stasis and understood that armies do not move.
00:34:31.016 --> 00:34:39.297
They erode those that do gain confidence and are more likely to fight well and endure hardship.
00:34:39.297 --> 00:34:55.846
So how did Sherman take Atlanta by September 2nd without suffering costly casualties and then prepare to march to Savannah, all in deep enemy territory with a variety of Confederate armies on his flanks and in his rear?
00:34:55.846 --> 00:35:01.079
Down to the mechanical level, sherman was a master of practical details.
00:35:01.079 --> 00:35:10.240
Before Sherman set out, he calculated that 130 rail cars were needed to travel southward from Tennessee.
00:35:10.240 --> 00:35:12.809
Each day he marched to meet that need.
00:35:12.809 --> 00:35:32.806
Sherman commandeered rare rail cars wherever he could find them and finally shut down all civilian rail rare rail traffic If his troops were well supplied with food and ammunition and knew their general would ensure such supplies without interruption, they would march and fight well.
00:35:32.806 --> 00:35:51.034
More importantly, sherman could calculate how many rail cars of stored material he might need when he left the logistical security of the tracks and roughly how many supplies the local landscape might provide Soldiers fired rifles.
00:35:51.034 --> 00:35:55.005
But that was impossible without food, ammunition and proper care.
00:35:56.248 --> 00:36:02.012
The historian John Marseilleck best summed up Sherman's genius in planning the Atlantic campaign.
00:36:02.012 --> 00:36:06.528
He had come to see that every Southerner's civilian and soldier as the enemy.
00:36:06.528 --> 00:36:12.911
So too he considered every Unionist and every material good to be part of the war effort against the enemy.
00:36:12.911 --> 00:36:23.306
The ability to see war as total and to organize the vast resources to conduct that war made him the great military commander he showed himself to be that summer.
00:36:23.306 --> 00:36:27.838
Even before he began maneuvering his huge forces in battle.
00:36:27.838 --> 00:36:31.208
He had demonstrated military greatness.
00:36:31.208 --> 00:36:35.978
And one last quote the stolen and straightforward.
00:36:35.978 --> 00:36:49.112
George Thomas might have endlessly chased the retreating Joe Johnston or hood and Grant might have plowed straight for Atlanta, almost taking the city, and yet lost 80,000 soldiers in the attempt.
00:36:49.112 --> 00:37:00.713
Each time a southern general tried to go northward to threaten Union victory Albert Sidney Johnston and Shiloh Robert E Lee at Gettysburg, john Bell Hood outside Nashville.
00:37:00.713 --> 00:37:04.387
He wrecked his army and ended up dead or retreating southward.
00:37:04.706 --> 00:37:19.409
Sherman knew how to keep his soldiers mobile, minimize losses and take an all important city like Atlanta, using it as a steppingstone for greater things yet to come and thereby winning Lincoln the election.
00:37:19.409 --> 00:37:28.663
More importantly, at his best he was able to translate his new philosophy of war into rhetoric that would soon galvanize the nation.
00:37:28.663 --> 00:37:34.034
Atlanta was not merely captured but ours, and fairly won.
00:37:34.034 --> 00:37:41.175
Savannah did not merely fall but was presented to a country as a Christmas present.
00:37:41.175 --> 00:37:51.735
Georgia would not be dissected but made to howl in a war quote so terrible of synonymous ruin for civilians.
00:37:51.735 --> 00:38:00.824
His famous postbellum pronouncement that war as hell was simply a variation on what he had told the nation throughout most of the Civil War.
00:38:00.824 --> 00:38:18.208
As in the case of the mesle clease, individual battles were not, for Sherman, ends in themselves, nor even theater operations that serve strategic purposes, but elements of far larger sociological war.
00:38:18.208 --> 00:38:30.335
With Sherman Stymied or defeated in Georgia rather than triumphant in Atlanta, lincoln would not have been reelected With President McClellan and the White House.
00:38:30.335 --> 00:38:41.114
There would have been enormous pressure to settle differences by permanent separation between north and south or to return a slave owning southern United States.
00:38:41.114 --> 00:38:52.407
Quite simply, without Uncle Billy's men in Atlanta on September 2nd 1864, the United States as we know it today might very well not exist.
00:38:53.891 --> 00:39:06.565
And those are just three books Victor Davis Hansen's huge library of books that he has written and I hope you have enjoyed me sharing those excerpts with you.
00:39:06.565 --> 00:39:09.876
Victor Davis Hansen is an incredible historian.
00:39:09.876 --> 00:39:18.375
I believe he's the hardest working and the very best living historian that the United States has ever produced.
00:39:18.375 --> 00:39:33.262
Now, in recognition of his contributions, victor Davis Hansen has been awarded the National Humanities Medal in 2007, which just further cemented his legacy as one of the most influential historians of our time.
00:39:33.262 --> 00:39:39.974
And before we go, let me show you real quick his complete body of work.
00:39:39.974 --> 00:39:45.873
His production in books and writings is incredible, but I just want to put these on the record.
00:39:45.873 --> 00:39:52.554
We're going in chronological order here, starting way back in 1998.
00:39:53.657 --> 00:39:57.467

00:00:30.070 --> 00:00:44.484
00:00:44.484 --> 00:00:58.566
00:00:58.566 --> 00:01:08.819
00:01:08.819 --> 00:01:28.225
00:01:28.225 --> 00:01:34.069
00:01:35.560 --> 00:01:40.331
00:01:40.331 --> 00:01:49.873
00:01:49.873 --> 00:02:10.447
00:02:10.447 --> 00:02:26.629
00:02:26.629 --> 00:02:34.252
00:02:35.479 --> 00:02:50.425
00:02:50.425 --> 00:02:54.108
00:02:54.108 --> 00:03:06.991
00:03:06.991 --> 00:03:24.211
00:03:25.439 --> 00:03:56.268
00:03:56.268 --> 00:04:09.393
00:04:09.393 --> 00:04:23.692
00:04:23.692 --> 00:04:34.331
00:04:34.480 --> 00:04:42.603
00:04:42.603 --> 00:04:49.867
00:04:49.867 --> 00:04:55.170
00:04:55.170 --> 00:05:04.565
00:05:04.565 --> 00:05:12.805
00:05:12.805 --> 00:05:18.071
00:05:20.504 --> 00:05:36.322
00:05:36.322 --> 00:05:43.807
00:05:43.807 --> 00:06:27.290
00:06:27.290 --> 00:06:40.812
00:06:40.812 --> 00:06:51.509
00:06:51.509 --> 00:07:05.132
00:07:05.132 --> 00:07:22.788
00:07:22.788 --> 00:07:28.954
00:07:28.954 --> 00:07:35.730
00:07:35.730 --> 00:07:41.750
00:07:42.899 --> 00:07:54.523
00:07:54.523 --> 00:08:10.470
00:08:10.470 --> 00:08:17.490
00:08:17.490 --> 00:08:28.048
00:08:28.048 --> 00:08:33.470
00:08:33.470 --> 00:08:49.227
00:08:50.600 --> 00:09:09.873
00:09:09.873 --> 00:09:23.866
00:09:23.866 --> 00:09:40.022
00:09:40.022 --> 00:09:45.996
00:09:45.996 --> 00:09:50.389
00:09:50.389 --> 00:10:04.471
00:10:05.840 --> 00:10:21.405
