About the episode
On the Independence Day Special from CBS News Radio, host Gil Gross speaks with Glenn Knobloch, the author of "Strong and Brave Fellows", which recounts the significant contributions of African-American soldiers and sailors during the Revolutionary War. And, on America’s 249th birthday, we'll speak with Pulitzer Prize-winner Rick Atkinson about the middle years of the Revolution when doubts and sacrifices were high. Finally, here's a story you've never heard. Our founding fathers for decades thought our nation would not survive. Dennis C. Rasmussen, author of Fears of a Setting Sun: The Disillusionment of America's Founders, explains why earliest leaders were pessimistic about the prospects for the United States.
