Coming Together/Coming Apart is a history podcast about civil wars, struggles for independence, and national disintegration. I will take a deep and honest look at why countries form and the ways in which they break down. New episodes release every Tuesday. First up, a History of the Korean War. Next up, a History of the Rwandan Civil War and Genocide.
