Uncommon Knowledge™ is now an exclusive on the web, giving viewers immediate access to some of the videos and all of the transcripts from the Uncommon Knowledge television series (1997–2005) as well as the current webcasts (2006–present). The series features Hoover fellow Peter Robinson interviewing political leaders, distinguished scholars, and leading journalists.

Richard Epstein, the Peter and Kirsten Bedford Senior Fellow at the Hoover Institution and the Laurence A. Tisch Professor of Law, New York University Law School, and John Yoo, a professor at the University of California at Berkeley law school, examine the merits of various constitutional arguments for the Supreme Court’s striking down Obamacare.

This week on Uncommon Knowledge historian Andrew Roberts discusses, with Hoover research fellow Peter Robinson, his book The Storm of War: A New History of the Second World War. In the book, Roberts investigates what led up to the war, the historical factors responsible for Hitler’s rise to power, Hitler’s shortcomings as a military leader, Nazi Germany’s defeat, and Allied contributions to the victory.
