Roy Casagranda on the US' long history of coups and wars in the Middle East

In this episode of Unapologetic, Roy Casagranda, a professor of Government at Austin Community College and expert in political science, history, and philosophy, discusses US meddling in the Middle East over the last century.

Casagranda has gained popularity by posting a series of lectures on YouTube that examine the history of the Americas, the slave trade, colonialism, and the Arab world and the Middle East.

In this extended interview, Casagranda takes us on a history lesson that includes the Sykes-Picot agreement, CIA-orchestrated coups in Syria and Iran, wars, US doctrines and ultimately betrayals.

UNAPOLOGETIC is a show that unapologetically looks at the life, times and views of some unapologetic and not so unapologetic humans. Hosted by Ashfaaq Carim
