United States involvement in World War II is a complicated story, but incomplete unless we discuss black Americans and their contributions to the war effort. Matt and I get to it, discussing everything from support roles to civil right initiatives to the Double V campaign. This is good stuff...all from his recent book - Half American: The Epic Story of African Americans Fighting World War II at Home and Abroad. You can grab a copy HERE -

Brad has written 19 books on the Civil War, and we talk about a bunch of them...and his work on Gettysburg especially - like why people fixate on that battle as the turning point of the war. Hmmmm.
And of course, we discuss maps. There's some surprises here so make sure to listen closely :)
Oh - and if you want his super awesome map book, then click HERE.

In this episode, I welcome author and screenwriter Don Alexander and we discuss his novel: Shackles of a Freeman: the Untold Story of Lewis Sheridan Leary. Leary was the son of a free black man in Antebellum North Carolina who finds his way into the ranks of John Brown and is involved in raid on Harper's Ferry. This is a gripping historical fiction and Don helps us understand the complexities of the era.

One of my favorite spots on the battlefield - which doesn't get the love it deserves. Codie takes us on a virtual "tour" of sorts and contextualizes Seminary Ridge in the context of the Battle of Gettysburg and the war
