Our American "Empire" with Niall Ferguson on ThoughtCast
In some ways, the Scottish historian Niall Ferguson is the Russell Crowe of the academic world: charismatic, unconventional, and definitely controversial. He's also a big fan of the British Empire — and wants the United States to follow in its footsteps. That means it's our job to form colonies in hot climates, for years on end.

War of the World - Guate Cut
Edit of the series of section referring to Guatemala.
The War of the World: A new history of the 20th century. First shown on Channel 4 in June--July 2006 Niall Ferguson presents a major six-part series proposing an explosive challenge to common assumptions about the 20th century. This, he argues, comprised a single Hundred Years' War powered, not by nationalism, but by empires. It was race, not class or socialism, that was the 'big idea', and ethnic conflict ultimately underpinned the violence.

In Defense of WWII: Part 4 of 5
Niall Ferguson, author of The War of the World, describes the Allies in WWII as just as brutal as the German and Japanese opposition. In rebuttal, Hitchens makes the point that Germany and Japan were nurtured back to health following defeat, something that never would have happened to Russia or Britain under German occupation. Hanson adds that any atrocities committed by the Allies were incidental, not premeditated.
