Susan Butler Interview! (6/26/15)

We would like to welcome to the program, acclaimed author, Susan Butler. She grew up in New York and received her MA from Columbia University. Her articles have appeared in The New York Times and Barron’s....

She is here tonight to discuss her latest book, Roosevelt and Stalin, Portrait of a Partnership....Making use of previously classified materials from the Russian State Archive as well as the FDR Library and three hundred hot-war messages between Roosevelt and Stalin, Butler tells the story of how the leader of the free world and the leader of the Communist world became more than allies of convenience during World War II...
