Michael Knowles and special guests discuss great literature that has shaped Western Civilization.
How does war reshape not only nations—but the souls of those who live through it? In War and Peace, Leo Tolstoy sets Napoleon’s invasion of Russia as the backdrop for what many consider the greatest novel ever written.
