Author Craig Chapman joined today’s show to talk about his World War II veteran dad, whose amazing story he captured in new book “Battle-Hardened: An Infantry Officer's Harrowing Journey from D-Day to V-E Day.”

Tapping his own experience as an infantry officer, Chapman used memories of his dad’s stories, letters from the war and National Archives records to write about his father’s combat experience.
