Thank you. Welcome to the Eric Metaxus show. Did you ever see the movie The Blobs starring Steve McQueen?

The blood-curdling threat of the blob. Well, way back, Eric had a small part in that film, but they had to cut his

scene because the blob was supposed to eat him.

But he kept spitting him out.

Oh, the whole thing was just a disaster.

Anyway, here's the guy who's not always that easy to digest.

Eric, the Texas.

I'm here to have a serious conversation.

As you know, if you listen to the program, I've written many books.

I value good writing.

I love history.

And I have the privilege today of speaking with a celebrated author about his new book.

On the program today is Hampton Sides. Some of you know him from his previous books, Ghost Soldiers, Blood and Thunder, Hellout his trail, in the Kingdom of Ice.

And I'm holding the new book in my hand by Hampton Sides.

It's called On Desperate Ground, The Marines at the Reservoir, the Korean War's greatest battle.

Hampton Signs, welcome to this program.

Great to be with you.

Thanks for having me.

Well, it's so funny.

I don't know if you're aware of it, but I have been following you your career since you were an undergraduate.
