Dr. Neil Lanctot on The Approaching Storm
Join us for a compelling conversation with historian Neil Lanctot, Ph.D. When he discusses his book, The Approaching Storm. A colorful triptych of three American icons who changed history and the engrossing story of the roots of World War I.
In the early years of the twentieth century, the most famous Americans on the national stage were Theodore Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson, and Jane Addams: two presidents and a social worker.
Each took a different path to prominence, yet the three progressives believed the United States must assume a more dynamic role in confronting the growing domestic and international problems of an exciting new age.
Dr. Neil Lanctot shares a fascinating view of how these three titans splintered as they could not agree on how America should respond to what soon proved to be an unprecedented global catastrophe, on this installment of Leonard Lopate at Large on WBAI.
