It’s been a good couple of weeks for show segments with historical angles.  How We Got Here features three of them on Episode 47. First you get a Marco Werman Q & A on the background to the violence in Kyrgyzstan with Peter Zeihan of the global intelligence company Stratfor, then Gerry Hadden on the legacy of a 2002 oil spill of the coast of Spain, and finally Mary Kay Magistad with an evocative piece about  the Pacific Island of Tinian and its outsized role in U.S. military history.
