Author and historian Matthew F. Delmont joins Daniel Ford on Friday Morning Coffee to discuss his book Half American: The Epic Story of African Americans Fighting World War II at Home and Abroad.
Caitlin Malcuit also chats about the midterm elections (what the hell happened in New York State?) and the HarperCollins Union's strike.
Audio excerpted courtesy Penguin Random House Audio from Half American by Matthew F. Delmont, read by William DeMeritt.
“My hope in crafting the book was that readers will come away with a set of names they might be familiar with, but learn different stories about them, and a whole host of names of people that were important for the war effort that they’ve never heard of before.”
