Peter Crean & Luke Robinson — independent historians specialising in military disasters and command failures

Peter Crean and Luke Robinson on military disasters and the institutional failures behind them. Multi-era — Xenophon's Ten Thousand to the Gordon Relief Expedition to Witold Pilecki at Auschwitz — with a satirical edge that doesn't undermine the substance. Format ranges from punchy single episodes to multi-part series.
