When I first started book club, the plan was to read books that were written by authors within my circle of contacts so that I could them on for a live Q&A after we finish the readings. Since it has taken on a different approach as we ventured into more historical works, I thought why not just bring on an expert on the subject covered in the reading material?
Momcilo’s name was dropped several times throughout our readings as the expert on the Iron Guard and as it turns out, we have a close mutual friend who you all may know as well,
. Thank you to Conrad for putting us in contact. Although I have very limited knowledge on this subject, I really enjoyed this discussion with Momcilo and am grateful that he joined us to share his knowledge.Towards the middle of our discussion, I let the group take over and share their thoughts, questions and challenges with this book and I ended up equally enjoying the talk as a listener, so I hope you do too.
Check out more from Momcilo on his YouTube channel, Substack and on X.
