The Fourth War
Unclear and Present Danger - A podcast by Jamelle Bouie and John Ganz
Categories:
In the sixth episode of Unclear and Present Danger, John and Jamelle discuss "The Fourth War," a late-period John Frankenheimer film about two crusty bastards who almost start the third world war over a personal grudge match. It looks like a TV movie and it's not that interesting, but it was good fodder for a fruitful and fascinating conversation. Jamelle brings some 19th century American political history to the table, and John uses Francis Fukuyama's "The End of History" to get at some of the ideas in the film.
