Excellent content and presentation. Truly gifted professor. Would have given it 5 stars had he not been so liberal with his leftist views on the Palestinian issue
Did much to clarify the national ambiguity caused by these heroic and tragic passages.
very fun class And really helps to learn how to sort through ral news and made up news.
