Professor Roy Casagranda is an expert in history and political science.

He has hosted a series of lectures that are available on YouTube explaining the history of the Americas, the slave trade, colonialism, and the Arab world and the Middle East.

In this extended interview, Casagranda takes us on a history lesson that includes the SykesPicot agreement, CIAorchestrated coups in Syria and Iran, various wars, doctrines, betrayals and policies that show just how damaging and cynical US meddling in the Middle East has been over the last century.
