Join me in conversation with Mr. Andrew Biggio, US Marine, combat veteran, and Massachusetts police officer, author of The Rifle: Combat Stories From America's Last WWII Veterans, Told Through an M1 Garand.. published by Regnery History. Mr. Biggio traveled the country to speak with over 200 living veterans from World War II.
