S4E20: "Jeep!: Jeeps as a product of World War II era America"
To commemorate the 80th year since the Battle of the Bulge, during which jeeps played an important role, author Robert O'Connor and I analyze the utilitarian vehicle as the ultimate reflection of the US Army, its men, mission, and the country as a whole.
Robert is the author of Jeep Show: A Trouper at the Battle of the Bulge , a historical fiction book which tells the story of the entertainers (including, famously, Mickey Rooney) who enlisted in the Army and went further into warzones than any USO show dared in order to boost soldier morale and help win the war.
