We have a special treat today. Historian Craig Nelson has a new book coming out on May 23. V is for Victory: Franklin Roosevelt's American Revolution and the Triumph of World War II. I think this is a great book for listeners who are fans of WWII (or even if your aren't). I don't agree with everything the author states (his take on FDR's New Deal is one), but overall the book is well written and quite enjoyable.

Last episode we spent our time looking at the final aspect of Guadalcanal and that was the naval battles that took place in November 1942. It’s been a while since we discussed China, but I don’t want us to forget that aspect of the war, so we will spend several episodes talking about what was the Second Sino Japanese War. Now before I confuse anyone, let me remind you that yes, we did two episode on that conflict this season: episode 5 and 9. However, we left off with December 1941. So what’s been going on since then? I think it’s time we found out!

The last in our series of bonus author interviews features historian Matthew Delmont of Dartmouth. In this episode we discuss his latest book which deals with African Americans and World War II titled Half American: The Epic Story of African Americans Fighting World War II at Home and Abroad. This is another fine work of history and I think it's another book you really should add to your collection. Check it out at the link below.
