1:05:48Now PlayingOn the inaugural Bulwark Book Club, Mark Hertling joins Mona Charen to discuss his new book—If I Don’t Return: A Father’s Wartime Journal—a journal he began during the Gulf War for his young sons in case he never returned home. Their conversation explores combat, leadership, moral injury, fatherhood, friendship, military culture, and what it means to live a life worthy of the sacrifices made by those who serve.
Programming note: Join us for the next edition of The Bulwark Book Club during the The Mona Charen Show the week of July 4. July’s book pick is Lindsay Chervinsky’s “Making the Presidency: John Adams and the Precedents That Forged the Republic.”
