On June 23, 2012, I was interviewed live by Chuck Mertz, host of This is Hell! radio show on 89.3FM Chicago. The podcast of the hour-long conversation here deals with the role of humiliation in international politics, war and the making of history. We also discussed President Obama's personal role in America's drone wars in a growing number of countries.
