History Happy Hour

Bastogne and The Bulge: Guest: Martin King


Listen Later

This Week on History Happy Hour: There are few names in the annals of military history that evoke such emotion, as the small Belgian town of Bastogne. The 101st Airborne are the best-known defenders of Bastogne, but they only constituted one third of the eventual force that saved the city from total annihilation.

Chris and Rick discuss the heroic defense of the city with historian Martin King, lead author of The Eagles of Bastogne.

Martin King is an award-winning British Military historian and author who’s had the honor of reintroducing many US, British and German veterans to the WWII battlefields where they fought. He has lectured at many British and US colleges, universities and military bases throughout the world. Among his numerous books are Searching for Augusta, The Forgotten Angel of Bastogne and The Tigers of Bastogne: Voices of the 10th Armored Division in Bastogne. He lives in Belgium.
