The Heroes of the World War I: Lost Battalion with Historian Ed Lengel

Four unlikely heroes crossed paths in October 1918, as American doughboys fought for survival in France's Argonne Forest during World War I. Major Charles Whittlesey, Captain George McMurtry and Tennessee Corporal Alvin C. York would all receive Medals of Honor for their conduct, but their story might never have been told had it not been for enterprising sportswriter-turned-war correspondent Damon Runyon, who braved enemy shells to meet the men at the front. This is their story.
