Each week since October 2004, host Gerald Prokopowicz and a guest discuss the various aspects of Civil War History.  Each show consists of an hour long conversation with guests from the very well known historians James McPherson, Doris Kearns Goodwin and Gary Gallagher to mention a few.  Gerald also speaks with artists such as Don Troiani, filmmakers Ken Burns, re-enactors Rob Hodge, novelists Jeff Shaara, curators, game designers, children’s authors, collectors, and others. In addition to well known names like the ones mentioned, the show often features authors of first books who are just starting to make their reputations.

Outstanding! I’m a truck driver so I’m behind the wheel constantly &amp; Mr. Prokopowicz &amp; his array of guests are fantastic. I grew up very interested n the war because of my farther an after all these years my interest has never been higher &amp; to have this show with so many interesting topics is a pleasure.  Kudos

John Brown

Tony Horowitz, author of Midnight Rising: John Brown and the Raid That Sparked the Civil War. Gerry's Introduction -This is Gerry Prokopowicz, with Civil War Talk Radio, John Brown was the sacrificial lamb. The man who freely gave his life in accordance with God's will, to free us all from the bondage of sin. John Brown was the long bearded religious fanatic who commanded a suicide attack on a building that symbolized the power of the United States; killed 19 of his followers and touched off a long and costly war. Who was John Brown? The 19th century version of Jesus Christ? Or Osama bin Laden? The debate goes on marching today. We will have the author of Confederates in the Attic, Tony Horowitz, who gives his take in Midnight Risings: John Brown and the Raid That Sparked the Civil War, with us today on Civil War Talk Radio.
