Roosevelt, Truman and the Fight for Freedom, Abroad and at Home

Join us for the next lecture in our Fighting for Freedom Program Series about international fights against totalitarianism.

This lecture in the Fighting for Freedom Program Series will focus on why and how Presidents Roosevelt and Truman fought for freedom against the Axis powers during World War II and prepared for another struggle against Soviet communism in its aftermath. Professor Emeritus of American History at the University of Virginia Melvyn P. Leffler will share how the struggle was not simply about the fight for freedom abroad, but also at home.
