What Are We Fighting For
Your Enemies, the Fascists
von
What Are We Fighting For is a wartime radio program centered on explaining the stakes of the conflict and the ideas behind the Allied cause. The episode title, “Your Enemies, the Fascists,” points to a direct examination of fascism as an enemy in the war.
Presented as a radio program rather than a single-narrator audiobook, it offers listeners a period perspective on the conflict and the arguments used to describe what was at risk. Its subject matter is political and historical, with an emphasis on understanding the forces opposing the Allies.
The result is a focused wartime listening experience: earnest, purposeful, and shaped by the urgency of its moment. It may appeal to listeners interested in radio’s role in explaining the war to the public and in hearing how the struggle against fascism was framed at the time.
