The 100th anniversary of the outbreak of the First World War has occasioned much discussion about  the nature of German militarism prior to the outbreak of hostilities in the sumer of 1914.  Coupled with this is the question of the link of Wilhemine Germany to the rise of Nazism and the perpetration of the Holocaust.  Join us for an hour long interview with Professor Richard Wiekart, author of the newly published From Darwin to Hitler:  Evolutionary Ethics, Eugenics and Racism in Germany, when we will discuss these issues and in particular how Wilhemine Germany was involved in its own form of racist ideology which spurred hostilities in 1914.
