Council on Foreign Relations 107d ago

“The draft and Lend-Lease were really kind of the building blocks for our victory [in World War II]. . . . We did have a mobilization, a huge mobilization going on when we got into the war, which enabled us to win,” says Lynne Olson, author of Those Angry Days: Roosevelt, Lindbergh, and America’s Fight Over World War II. Olson joined James M. Lindsay on The President’s Inbox podcast to discuss the history of the Lend-Lease Act of 1941 and the domestic political struggles that shaped the United States’ entry into World War II.
