DAILY DOSE OF BIG HISTORY IN LITTLE TIME!

The History Shorts' host, Peter Zablocki, is an award-winning historian, author, and history professor at Caldwell University. His goal for History Shorts is for the platform to act as an outlet to share some incredible historical events and tidbits he comes across during his everyday research. These are not the points of view or events you learned about in history class but the intriguing, forgotten, and sometimes just downright odd aspects of history.
