In today's episode the weirdos, catch up with a special guest Robert O'Connor, for an interview to discuss his new book Jeep Show: A Trouper at the Battle of the Bulge.

Deftly interweaving Jim’s story with historical events, O’Connor provides a compelling picture of a combat soldier’s life in the ETO. Jeep Show also illuminates the Army’s comprehensive efforts to improve the moral of its citizen-soldiers, and other little-known aspects of the U.S. war effort. O’Connor salts the story with fascinating snapshots of show business life in pre-war America. For fans of WW2 non-fiction and fiction, including Band of BrothersSaving Private Ryan, Ken Burns’s The War, The Thin Red Line, With the Old Breed, The Red Badge of Courage, and Catch 22.
