“Excellent work…Ms. Maddow has done it again!!! If this event, from our not-so-distant past, open the eyes of some Americans about what’s happening today and change the course of our immediate future, I’m not sure that we, as a Country, will come out as we did after WWII. The similarities of...”Read full review »

“Fascinating reporting, well produced and relevant, but the oratorical meandering and repetitive flourishes are excessive and exhausting by the end, and I found myself tuning out. About 2-3 episodes could have been trimmed out through cutting the repetition alone.”

Thank you. Congratulations on incredibly informative journalism. Your presentation of history always peaks my interest. What concerns me is that we can very easily substitute the name Trump and the story can remain the same. I am frightened. Thank you for your efforts. Great job.”
