4 books · With Naomi Ekperigin · Listen · Watch on YouTube

This week we did something a little bit different. In Episode 13, Robert is joined by Naomi Ekperigin (Couples Therapy Podcast) and we will be getting ‘behind’ Hitler again, but our focus is not going to be the Fuhrer himself or any Nazis, for that matter.

Robert Evans discussed The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich by William L. Shirer, The Death of Democracy by Benjamin Carter Hett, Rule of the Inferiour by Edgar Julius Jung, and 1924 by Peter Ross Range.
