About this episode
This episode of Guerrilla History is a cross-over episode with Revolutionary Left Radio, hosted by our cohost Breht O'Shea.
In this episode, we discuss the life, legacy, tactics, and lessons from the legendary John Brown. For background reading on one of the most famous and controversial abolitionists, we recommend starting with W.E.B. Du bois's "John Brown", published in 1909, and David Reynold's "John Brown, Abolitionist", published in 2005.
