Lee Pollock will discussFranklin and Winston: The Friendship That Saved the World”

Franklin Roosevelt and Winston Churchill were among the greatest leaders of the 20th century. Together, they directed a grand alliance that saved democracy and freedom in the world’s darkest hour, carried their nations to victory in the most terrible war in history, and laid the geo-political foundation that defines much of the world we know today. What was the real nature of their relationship? How were they similar and different in background, temperament, and ideas? Was theirs a true friendship or just a partnership of allies? And how did it evolve, for better and worse, during World War II, and how does history remember them today? Lee Pollock examines the lives of these fascinating men and discusses how their interaction altered the course of history.
