Wartime radio at its most provocative - that's "Words at War"!

Each story was adapted for radio…and for maximum emotional impact. These eight digitally restored and re-mastered broadcasts include performances by Les Damon, Lesley Woods, Maurice Tarplin, Staats Cotsworth, Jackson Beck, Lon Clark, House Jameson, Art Carney, and many more.
