"The York Patrol:" an Interview with James Carl Nelson

Author James Carl Nelson joins me in discussing his latest book, "The York Patrol: The Real Story of Alvin York and the Unsung Heroes Who Made Him World War I's Most Famous Soldier."

The passing of a century and other events has worked to create and solidify the legend of SGT Alvin York, where the story goes that York single-handedly (or nearly so) took on the German Army, killed some 25 enemy soldiers, and then captured 132 more. More recently, the story has been garnering attention for the fact that sixteen other men were part of and present for what is known as the York Patrol.

Mr. Nelson's "The York Patrol'' is but the latest book to cover the ongoing legend of SGT York, perhaps America's most famous Doughboy of WW1:
