History

In World War II: Up Close and Personal, Dr. Keith Huxen, a historian and project director at The Henry M. Jackson Foundation, takes you into the story of ordinary people doing extraordinary things. From the icy front lines of Soviet Russia to the bombing campaigns against Britain to the fall of the Philippines, these 24 engrossing lectures take you into the shoes of soldiers, sailors, pilots, war correspondents, and citizens struggling to survive a war-torn world.
