Book Nook: The Fight for the Four Freedoms, by Harvey J. Kaye

President Franklin Delano Roosevelt gave a speech in which he enumerated the four freedoms that every American should be able to recognize and realize. Do you know what those four freedoms were? Of course it has been many years since FDR delivered that speech, you cannot be expected to know what they were, right? Can you name even one of those four freedoms that FDR cited? You cannot!? (sigh)

Harvey Kaye believes that we need to know about FDR's speech and understand some of the reasons why most Americans can no longer remember what that speech was all about. Listen to my conversation with Harvey. Discover what has been lost.
