Cook Park Library event Sept. 19 focuses on radio during WWII

Radio historian, writer and public speaker Steve Darnall examines some of the ways that radio brought World War II into the lives of its listeners in a presentation at 6:30 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 19, at Cook Park Library, 413 N. Milwaukee Ave. Libertyville.

World War II marked the first time Americans could hear about a global war through presidential speeches, news broadcasts, entertainment shows for the troops and programs designed to boost morale at home.
