    022: How Al-Qaeda Invaded Georgia

    05/8/2025 | 1h 11 mins.
    The years immediately after 9/11 were a weird time. Every adult in the world went a little insane. The US and Putin's Russia were intelligence allies. Al-Qaeda really was inside Georgia - just not that one by Roberto of altogether too many projects to discuss the Pankisi Gorge Crisis, and how US training and advisors helped combat both fundamentalist insurgents and anti-corruption protestors. Roberto is the host of The History of Saqartvelo Georgia (@History_Georgia) and co-host of Tsar Power (@TsarPowerPod) and Quest for Power.

About America: Secret Wars

The United States has more than its fair share of famous wars in history, but that doesn't even scratch the surface. Have you ever wondered why we don't talk about the Korean War or the War of 1812 very often? Do you even know the names of the wars fought against Native American nations? What about the battle with Japan during the Civil War? In this podcast, Trevor Culley will sit down with friends and guests to discuss all of the American military history that's been forgotten, overlooked, or even covered up to explore lost stories from American history.
