His collaborator for the series is Peter Kuznick, a professor of history at American University.

Sorry if I'm more skeptical about Hollywood 'history' than a turkey invited to Thanksgiving dinner

Skepticism is wise. Dismissiveness isn't.

Me too.

But, I'm even more skeptical about history lessons that paint certain individuals as if they possess infallable wisdom and moral fortitude, granted to them by the Almighty.......because they got rich by being ruthless bastards. I see motive behind that. Powerful motive to taint and manipulate said history.

Regards,
Dave

Define legitimate historian, please!

I have not seen the Ronnie episode yet;i usually catch up on VOD. However from what I have seen so far Stone is too sympathetic to the Soviets.

Nevertheless I have learnt a lot of new to me stuff. For instance I did not realise the the scale of the massacre of communists and their sympathisers in Indonesia.

Caught the newest episode about GHW Bush and Clinton. You rightwing nutjobs ought to get a kick out of his less than admiring view of Clinton but you'll have to sit thru some rough chit about Bush Sr. Didja know that GW's grandpappy was a banker for Hitler?
