Final Victory: FDR’s Remarkable World War II Presidential Campaign – Stanley Weintraub

When the 1944 Presidential election geared up, FDR—in gravely deteriorating health—and his feisty running mate, Harry Truman, campaigned vigorously against young governor Thomas E. Dewey. Hear the unforgettable story of FDR’s striking “last campaign” from the city streets—where Roosevelt, paralyzed by polio, rode in an open car—to the battlefronts where the commander-in-chief’s forces were closing in on Hitler and Hirohito.

This program includes a round-table lunch discussion with the speakers immediately following the talk.
