This month, storyteller Richard Rubin and historian Jonathan Bratten discuss the fabled arrival of American doughboys in Paris on July 4, 1917; Americans serving in France before the U.S. entered the war in 1917; the Espionage and Sedition Acts; and the massive undertaking of creating, training and equipping the American Expeditionary Forces. And for their free-for-all, they address the question: Was America ever truly "neutral" before it officially entered World War I? Plus original recordings of WWI-era songs and listener mail, all from a secure and undisclosed location somewhere in Maine.
