Episode 9: 80th Anniversary of Victory Over Japan Day with Special Guest Mark Moyar

In this special episode of Roots, Rights & Reason, host Lee Smith welcomes Hillsdale College Military Historian and Author Mark Moyar, for a thought-provoking conversation commemorating the 80th anniversary of Victory Over Japan Day.

Moyar examines the events leading to Japan’s surrender aboard the USS Missouri, the brutality of the Japanese regime in Asia, and the strategic necessity of America’s involvement in the Pacific theater. He challenges revisionist claims that the war was avoidable, explaining why Japan’s aggression left the U.S. no choice but to fight.

The discussion also explores the postwar transformation of Japan and Germany into democratic allies, the contrast with failed nation-building in Iraq and Afghanistan, and the lessons World War II still offers for today’s greatest strategic threat: China.
