LGM Podcast: The Windfall Battleships

podcast Archives - Lawyers, Guns & Money

On the latest LGM podcast I had the good fortune to sit down with Aidan Dodson, author of the Windfall Battleships: Agincourt, Canada, Erin, Eagle and the Balkan and Latin-American Arms Races. We talk through the Navalism of the first two decades of the twentieth century, which helped generate a procurement environment in which a country like Chile could contemplate the acquisition of large, modern capital ships. We then work through the histories of the four vessels, finishing with a short discussion of Dodson’s next project, a book on the Royal Navy’s Hawkins class cruisers.

The LGM podcast is now available from a variety of corporate overlords, so please perform freedom by making your consumer choice. We would very much appreciate reviews, whether of the thoughtful written variety or just by clicking on the appropriate star. The podcast is time-consuming and expensive, so also contemplate tossing a nickel in the jar.
