History Happy Hour Episode 62: D-DAY SPECIAL |
|
This week on History Happy Hour: Host Historians Chris Anderson and Rick Beyer remember the 77th anniversary of the Normandy Landings with a 90 minute D-Day Special. Rick will be live from the National D-Day Memorial, and three distinguished guests will join us for a D-Day discussion.
The show will begin with author Giles Milton, and a look at his riveting account of the first 24 hours of the D-Day invasion as told through a symphony of incredible accounts from a variety of participants on both sides. The book is "Soldier, Sailor, Frogman, Spy, Airman, Gangster, Kill or Die: How the Allies Won on D-Day." Then we’ll be joined by historians Joe Balkoski ( "Omaha Beach", "Utah Beach" ) and Craig Symonds ("Operation Neptune") for a freewheeling five-way discussion on D-Day Controversies. And we have a few surprises planned as well. Join us for a very special History Happy Hour Sunday, June 6 at 4PM ET. The spot where history is always on tap. |
