EXPLICIT LANGUAGE WARNING - THIS ONE GETS SWEARY

This week we are joined by the Historian of Anglo/French relations and Author, Chris Kempshall, who charges onto the rage train to argue that THE FRENCH ARE NOT CHEESE EATING SURRENDER MONKEYS.

We'll be talking about the horrific realities of Verdun, how the French have a truly impressive victory rate that is a contender with all the superpowers and how nobody could celebrate a victory over France if they truly lacked military might and courage.
