Half American with Matthew F. Delmont
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 -

Musings on the Civil War with Bradley M. Gottfried
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.

One More War to Fight with Stephen A. Goldman
Steve and I discuss one of my favorite topics: Civil War veterans. And as a psychiatrist, he brings a unique perspective to the conversation - and offers compelling evidence about their postwar attitudes concerning the war itself and why they fought it in the first place.
You can get his book, One More War to Fight: Union Veterans' Battle for Equality through Reconstruction, Jim Crow, and the Lost Cause HERE
