The waning days of 'The Great War'

Memorial Day is about honoring the people who have died while serving the country in the military. So we dug into the archives for a JX segment appropriate to the day. The result: a chat from 2021 about events of a century before.

Randy Roberts and Johnny Smith are the guests, the authors of the book . The book is set in the fall of 1918, when World War I was still raging, and the Spanish flu was also killing people in large numbers.

Three major figures of the time in Boston are featured, and Babe Ruth is one of them. Enjoy this glimpse into an America that our great-grandparents would recognize.
