If you get to New Orleans, please try to visit and support this wonderful museum. It's on my bucket list!

I'd like to give some space to actor Gary Sinise and the work he has done to help preserve the stories of veterans from WW2. The mission of the National World War 2 Museum is to help preserve the history of the war and its people, and Sinise through his foundation is making it possible for these vets to visit the museum and take part in the programming. For more information, here is a wonderful video that also links to his web page and other videos.

The publicity wheels are moving and Stephen Harding is getting ready for the release of his latest book, The Last To Die. In preparation, he has one interview under his belt with a local NPR affiliate in Washington, D.C., and the audio file can be accessed here: www.thekojonnamdishow.org
From the link, click on the BLOG link, and go to "Where History And Literature Meet. There's a bit of a conversation prior to the discussion with Steve, mostly about why WW2 is such a popular topic for fiction and non-fiction. Other interviews he will do soon will be more specific to the release of the book. Also, if you'd like to see just one of the wonderful reviews on the book, click here: http://www.booklistonline.com/Last-to-Die-A-Defeated-Empire-a-Forgotten-Mission-and-the-Last-American-Killed-in-World-War-II-Stephen-Harding/pid=7513262 Another review to check is on Kirkus: https://www.kirkusreviews.com/book-reviews/stephen-harding/last-to-die-defeated/ More later as the interview dates, files and possible public appearances become available!
