| Summary: | Franklin D. Roosevelt's 'Four Freedoms' address was more than a great speech. The way FDR framed what Americans fought for during World War II - specifically for freedom of speech, freedom from want, freedom of religion and freedom from fear - and the way our understanding of those freedoms has evolved over time, helped define how Americans conceived of themselves from the 1940s to the present day. This book explores the Four Freedoms in the context of history, as well as addressing the extent to which it has evolved over time. |
