Read industry reviews of Dad's new World War II Asia-Pacific novel, The Slightest Chance, at paulletters.com. It's now out on Kindle for US$6.99, as well as in paperback. So is Dad's first wartime novel, A Chance Kill, a love-story/thriller based on real events in Poland, Paris, London and Prague.

Here are some questions based on today's episode:

The US Declaration of Independence (1776) said "that all men are created ….." what? What does "segregation" mean? What did Rosa Parks do on 1 December, 1955? What happened when Elizabeth Eckford and 8 other black students tried to go to Little Rock high school in 1957? Dr Martin Luther King's "I have a dream" speech resulted in the passing of a 1964 law called the Civil Rights Act. That law made something illegal – what was it? What was the 1965 law called that finally allowed black people to vote? Please rate and review us wherever you get podcasts. And share our podcast on social media and recommend it to friends – that's how we'll keep going.

We'll be back on the first Saturday of next month!
