About this product

Product Information

The specter of global war loomed large in President Franklin Roosevelt's mind as he prepared to present his 1941 State of the Union address. He believed the United States had a role to play in the battle against Nazi and fascist aggression already underway in Europe, yet his rallying cry to the nation was about more than just national security or why Americans should care about a fight still far overseas. He instead identified how Americans defined themselves as a people, with words that resonated and defined the parameters of American politics and foreign policy for generations. Roosevelt framed America's role in the conflict, and ultimately its role in forging the post-war world to come, as a fight for freedom. Four freedoms, to be exact: freedom of speech, freedom from want, freedom of religion, and freedom from fear.In this new look at one of the most influential presidential addresses ever delivered, historian Jeffrey A. Engel joins together with six other leading scholars to explore how each of Roosevelt's freedoms evolved over time, for Americans and for the wider world. They examine the ways in which the word "freedom" has been used by Americans and others, across decades and the political spectrum. However, they are careful to note that the acceptance of the freedoms has been far from universal - even within the United States. Freedom from want, especially, has provoked clashes between those in favor of an expanded welfare state and proponents of limited government from the 1940s to the present day. In this sweeping look at the way American conceptions of freedom have evolved over time, The Four Freedoms brings to light a new portrait of who Americans were in 1941 and who they have become today in their own eyes - and in the eyes of the entire world.

"[I]lluminates Roosevelt's 'contribution' to the 'evolution and import of freedom as a concept and as an ideological tool' and examines how those ideas were contested, implemented, altered, limited, and abandoned in both the United States and across the world (p. 13)."--Richard F. Hamm, H-FedHist "The book is well conceived and should be of interest to academic specialists and accessible for advanced undergraduates .Contributors tackle their topics with depth and skill, making this book a welcome addition to the canon on FDR and his legacy."--Margaret C. Rung, History "This stellar collection demonstrates the centrality of FDR's Four Freedoms to America's domestic political regimes and its place in the international order from 1941 to the present day. The incisive essays examine how the meaning of these freedoms changed over time and which of Roosevelt's hopes were left unfulfilled. Indispensable to any serious student of modern America and any observer of contemporary politics."--Anthony J. Badger, author of FDR: The First Hundred Days "The concept of freedom is endemic to the American creed but its meaning has long been subject to interpretation. Jeffrey Engel's cogent and incisive The Four Freedoms examines the seminal importance of Franklin Roosevelt's expression of freedom as an American ideal--delivered at a crossroads in our history--and what it means to our nation and the world today."--Mark K. Updegrove, director of the Lyndon Baines Johnson Presidential Library "Four Freedoms recaptures the context and significance of Roosevelt's commitment to this iconic set of values. Offered during a time of international strife, the vision outlined by FDR transcended that immediate context. The authors of this volume illuminate how and why this moral vision and its universalistic language framed America's self-image long after the end of World War II."--Brian Balogh, author of The Associational State: American Governance in the Twentieth Century and co-host of Backstory with the American History Guys "Exemplary."--H-Net "[A] thoughtful book." -Foreign Affairs, "This stellar collection demonstrates the centrality of FDR's Four Freedoms to America's domestic political regimes and its place in the international order from 1941 to the present day.
