Bit of a different episode today: Ryan reads a very long 1997 essay about the Second World War by the late Lee Sandlin called "Losing the War" (with permission from Nina Sandlin). Though it takes three hours to finish, it's a remarkable piece about the way the nature of the war was obscured from public view, why wars happen, and what we should remember about it today. Enjoy!

Episode 114 - Losing the War, by Lee Sandlin

Chicago author Lee Sandlin died unexpectedly in December of 2014.  On August 15 of this year, the Chicago City Council ordained the 4500 block of N. Artesian Avenue at the Southeast corner of Wilson and Artesian to be hereby known as LEE SANDLIN WAY. In his memory, we rebroadcast Andrew Patner’s 2013 conversation with Lee Sandlin about his books Storm Kings: The Untold History of America’s Tornado Chasers and Wicked River: The Mississippi When It Last Ran Wild.

Chicago author Lee Sandlin spent his childhood summers in the 60s in downstate Edwardsville in a house shared by four elderly relatives. As a kid, he took them at face value and never considered them as real people with real lives of their own.  In “The Distancers” he tells their stories, each remarkable in its own way. He tracks his family from Germany to Southern Illinois to Chicago’s German Northside in a uniquely Illinois memoir. Sandlin talks with Steve Bertrand […]
