No Surrender

Description

In 1944-45, as Allied victory in Europe seems all but assured, the fighting in the Pacific intensifies. The U.S. and Japan suffer terrible losses in the Philippines and on Iwo Jima. Roosevelt understands what ordinary Americans are only beginning to realize: in a clash between a nation which demands unconditional surrender and a nation which refuses to surrender, the worst is still to come.This episode features interviews with (in order of appearance):Jon Meacham, presidential historianRobert Citino, senior historian, National WWII MuseumJonathan Parshall, military historian, US Naval War CollegeDan Carlin, podcaster, Hardcore HistoryA.J.
