Tyler chats with Gregg Jones, an award-winning investigative journalist and international news correspondent, Pulitzer Prize finalist, a fellow at the Kluge Center and Black Mountain Institute, and a Botstiber Foundation grant recipient.

Last Stand at Khe Sanh (Da Capo/Perseus, 2014) received the Marine Corps Heritage Foundation's General Wallace M. Greene Jr. Award for Distinguished Nonfiction. His first book, Red Revolution: Inside the Philippine Guerrilla Movement (Westview, 1989), was praised by James Fallows in The Atlantic as a work of "prodigious, often brave reporting" and "an engrossing and highly informative book." In this episode, Tyler and Gregg dive deep into the history of the Last Stand of Khe Sanh and the heroism and bravery of our Marines under unfathomable circumstances. Based largely on interviews with the Marines who were there, the Last Stand at Khe Sanh stands as a remarkable record of what they did within this 77 day long siege. A moment in history we should never forget! "A honorable salute to the sacrifice, heroism and courage of our boys from Pawnee, Scranton, Yonkers, Wilmington and thousands of other small towns that produce our nation’s finest. There is a reason why they are called “The Few and The Proud”. <a href='https://www.amazon.com/Last-Stand-Khe-Sanh-Marines/dp/0306823721'>Last Stand at Khe Sanh</a> is available on Amazon.
