“Die Hard(s)”: It’s Not Just for Christmas Anymore

As we anxiously await Alex Deane’s Return to the Hidden History Happy Hour, fan favorite Myke Cole returns to provide an actual historian’s assessment of Alex’s Lessons From History Chapter 19 about one of the most heroic veterans of the British military service in the Peninsular War. And Myke and Bryan reminisce about their shared CBS TV experience (at least as long as Bryan can remember the thread of the conversation).
