Steve Schmidt, Ken Harbaugh & James Verini

About this episode

Steve Schmidt discusses the impact of the Ukraine War with Ken Harbaugh and James Verini, focusing on Verini's book about a tragic theater bombing.

Steve Schmidt is joined by Ken Harbaugh and author James Verini to talk about his new book, “The Theater: Courage and Survival in the Defining Atrocity of the Ukraine War.” Verini's book examines one of the darkest early moments of the war: Russia's bombing of the Donetsk Regional Academic Drama Theater, which killed hundreds of civilians. They also discuss that attack's legacy, and how Ukrainians have endured four years of death, destruction, and trauma without surrendering their will to fight.
