My guest today is Gregory Aldrete, a professor of history and humanistic studies at the University of Wisconsin\\u2013Green Bay, where he has been teaching since 1995. His emphasis is on rhetoric and oratory, floods in Rome, ancient Greek and Roman history, and daily life in the Roman world. What was life like in ancient Roman times? How did people do things in the ancient Roman Empire? These questions are what fascinates Gregory and keeps him moving forward in his research.

The topic is his book History\'s Great Military Blunders and the Lessons They Teach.

In this episode of Trend Following Radio we discuss:

  • Butterfly effect
  • Overconfidence in leadership
  • Napoleon\\u2019s biggest blunder
  • Battle of the Little Big Horn
  • Hitler
  • D-Day
  • Technology and understanding its potential
