About this listen
This Week in U.S. Military History: December 2nd, 2025–December 8th, 2025 invites you into a week where a fledgling navy hoists its first unified flag, a surprise attack at Pearl Harbor shatters an uneasy peace, and a quiet ceremony in Kabul marks the end of a long combat command. Listeners follow the story from Washington’s risky retreat across the Delaware and the ratification of the Thirteenth Amendment through nuclear breakthroughs, destroyer actions in the Philippines, Special Forces heroism in Vietnam, and the harsh ridgelines of Tora Bora.
Across these seven days, the narration moves between decks, trenches, mountain passes, and conference rooms, pausing to explain how each moment fits into its wider war and why it still echoes today. You hear how declarations of war, carrier launches, and advisory missions all sit on the same calendar with acts of courage by small units and individual leaders. “This Week in U.S. Military History” is the Tuesday feature of Dispatch: U.S. Military History Magazine, developed by Trackpads dot com, and this episode offers a clear, human-centered walk through a busy slice of the American military past.
