Hidden Histories: Eugene V. Debs

It was an explosive week in American politics, with the news of Donald J. Trump’s indictment. But if Trump were to be jailed, could he potentially run for the office of U.S. President from behind bars? If he did, he wouldn’t be the first person to do so. A little-remembered name today, Eugene V. Debs was once the most famous political radical in America and during his lifetime, had some interesting interactions with Ireland including political alliances and tensions. Gavan is joined by Donal Fallon for another episode of Hidden Histories to discuss.
