History Happy Hour Episode 277 – Coming Home

Guest: David Nasaw

The Wounded Generation

This Week on History Happy Hour:  World War II was unprecedented in its scope and ferocity. The heroism of the men and women who won the war may be well documented, but we know too little about the pain and hardships the veterans endured upon their return home.  

We’ll discuss this with David Nasaw, author of the new book The Wounded Generation: Coming Home After World War II.

Sunday at 4PM ET on History Happy Hour, where history is always on tap.
