I recommend every one who appreciates history to watch this one. VDH, Roberts, and Ferguson are to history what the Three Tenors were to music.
Dr. Hanson’s remarks about academic specialization remind me of the saying: “An expert is someone who knows more and more about less and less, until he finally knows everything about nothing. A generalist is someone who knows less and less about more and more, until he finally knows nothing about everything.”

Wow, what an amazing panel, thank you.
