Book Nook: X Troop: The Secret Jewish Commandos Who Helped Defeat the Nazis by Leah Garrett

Listen to Vick Mickunas' 2022 interview with author Leah Garrett for the paperback release of X Troop: The Secret Jewish Commandos Who Helped Defeat the Nazis

If I really like a book I'll go for the Book Nook Double Dip, I'll interview the author for the hardcover release and then do a second interview for the paperback release. Doesn't a double dip sound really refreshing right now with this scorching weather we have been having lately?

I really liked Leah Garrett's book. And in this second interview we covered lots of new ground. So much to like in this book. Now I think I'll help myself to a couple of scoops of peach ice cream. Yum. So refreshing.

Ooh, and the paperback release has a great new cover, too! And in this interview Leah mentioned that she plans to keep updating the book as more information on the top secret X Troop has been coming to light.

The Book Nook on WYSO is presented by the Greene County Public Library with additional support from Washington-Centerville Public LibraryClark County Public LibraryDayton Metro Library, and Wright Memorial Public Library.

Vick Mickunas is the host of Book Nook on WYSO, which he created in 1994. He has conducted more than 1,700 author interviews, from Studs Terkel to Lee Child to John Glenn.
