Richard Eager on “We Have Ways of Making You Talk” podcast


 

After having had the pleasure of meeting James Holland in Malta last year, Bobbie Kinnear joined the acclaimed author and historian on his WWII podcast, “We Have Ways of Making You Talk”.

And what a pleasure it was! If you love WWII history, you must add this one to your listen list. Host James Holland covers an incredible array of topics and delves into the “story behind the story” with unique insights, deep knowledge, and a dose of good banter!

This podcast episode was particularly special because Bobbie and James' could explore the unusual pilot/passenger working arrangement between Colonel Richard Evans, a young American pilot, and General Montgomery, the British Commander the 8th Army. Both this story and this podcast touch on our shared US/British WWII experience and shared LOVE of history.

Tune in for some great snippets and stories from the book, "Richard Eager"!
