This episode of Big Blend Radio features author Sid Balman Jr., who discusses his historical fiction novel, “Seventh Flag.” The book follows a white family and a Muslim family in a small West Texas town in a vivid saga that analyzes how each subsequent generation deals with its own inner turmoil and trauma. As America itself grows, these two families grow with it -- observing the country’s increasing radicalization following events like the wars in Vietnam and Iraq, and 9/11. Even though the book is fiction, its themes are very much present in today's headlines. Sid is a fourth generation Texan, Pulitzer nominee, and a veteran reporter who covered four major wars and traveled with two presidents and four secretaries of war during his career.
