Adam Lazarus (https://www.adamlazarusbooks.com/) joins the show this week to discuss his wonderful new book, "The Wingmen: The Unlikely, Unusual, Unbreakable Friendship Between John Glenn and Ted Williams" (Citadel Press, 2023). This is a fast-paced discussion starting with Glenn and Williams in battle as fighter pilots during the Korean Conflict through the space program, Williams' legendary post-conflict career in Boston, Glenn's long political live and more. Lazarus offers powerful insight into the nature and power of friendship and how friendship can grow and endure despite differences.
