History Happy Hour

The Wounded Generation: Coming Home After World War II with author David Nasaw

Encore Episode 306

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

In this encore episode, we discuss this with David Nasaw, author of the new book The Wounded Generation: Coming Home After World War II.

Don’t forget to send us questions in advance to info@historyhappyhour.com. And join us Sunday, at 4PM ET on History Happy Hour, where history is always on tap.
