E2W Episode 11 - The Secret Horsepower Race, its lessons and author - Guest: Calum Douglas - Part 02

Today's episode is, again, with Mr Calum Douglas, the second part of the conversation that we had. In this part 2 we actually talk about the main topic that is Calum's book: The Secret Horse Power Race. If you haven't watched the previous episode, it is OK. The book is a very education and beautifully illustrated book about the technological race that happen during the second world war

We discussed how Calum ended up writing a book and some interesting anecdotes of his years of research into the topic.

We also discussed bit what were the learnings from the book, beyond of the technical aspects of it. The personalities that shaped it and, without giving away too much of the book - the reasons why one side won and not the other. I really enjoyed this conversation.

In the end, there is not a single side of the history that is bad or good, or smart/stupid. It is very nuance and there are multi-dimensional perspectives that very much apply to today's world.

Once again, this has been one of my favorite episodes so, please check it our Calum's social media and his book.
