[Warning] This episode contains explicit language and explicit themes. Listener discretion is advised.

The Americans are coming! But are they any good at recording their own history? Danny tries to answer that question while analyzing Mr. Yockelson's book on the Meuse-Argonne Offensive, the only real major offensive the American Expeditionary Force participated in for the entire Great War. How do the Doughboys fair in the European theater for the first round? Did they really save Europe twice? It's all in this special Centennial episode!

Tune in every Tuesday for a new episode of The Broken Shelf.
