In this unique conversation with Tom Brokaw, Robert M. Morgenthau tells the story of one remarkable man’s experience in World War II: his own. The grandson of the U.S. Ambassador to Turkey at the outbreak of World War I and the son of FDR’s Secretary of the Treasury, Mr. Morgenthau began his own journey to prominence on the decks of naval destroyers. Join us for this frank and personal discussion with one of the city’s most indelible personalities.
