The Four Freedoms

In "The Four Freedoms," historian Jeffrey A. Engel and a team of scholars delve into President Franklin Roosevelt's pivotal 1941 State of the Union address, which redefined America's identity and role during a time of global conflict. Central to Roosevelt's message are the four freedoms: freedom of speech, freedom from want, freedom of religion, and freedom from fear, which have shaped American politics and foreign policy for generations. The audiobook examines how these concepts of freedom have evolved over time, reflecting broader societal debates and the complexities of American identity both domestically and internationally.
