Episode 99- Ike and Winston

In this episode, I spoke with Jonathan W. Jordan about his "Ike and Winston: World War, Cold War, and An Extraordinary Friendship". One was the soldier-statesman who would become America’s thirty-fourth president. The other was the British icon who refused to surrender in democracy’s darkest hour.

Episode 98- G.I. Jive: A Dictionary of Words at War

In this episode I spoke with Paul Dickson about his book "G.I. Jive: A Dictionary of Words at War". The language of American World War II military service began to evolve with the first draftees of 1940. Their emerging vocabulary was irreverent, creative, and often obscene, influenced by the worlds of music, jazz, swing, jive, and the nation's fascination with occupational slang.

Episode 97- "Fighting Back: Stan Andrews and the Birth of the Israeli Air Force".

In this episode I spoke with author Jeff Weiss about his book "Fighting Back: Stan Andrews and the Birth of the Israeli Air Force". Fighting Back is the story of Stan Andrews, an assimilated American Jew and World War II veteran who became one of the first fighter pilots in the history of the Israeli Air Force.
