EVENT DETAILS

Nineteen Forty-Four was a year of titanic events that weighed heavy on an ailing President Franklin D. Roosevelt: reelection, the D-Day invasion, the liberation of Paris, the Battle of the Bulge, and the mounting evidence of the extermination of European Jews. Bestselling author Jay Winik reveals the extraordinary struggles FDR faced during 1944 and how his decisive actions shaped the outcome of history.              

Jay Winik is The New York Times bestselling author of April 1865, The Great Upheaval, and 1944: FDR and the Year That Changed History. Jonathan Alter (moderator), an award-winning author, reporter, columnist, and television analyst, is the author of The Defining Moment: FDR's Hundred Days and the Triumph of Hope.

Please note: Caffè Storico will be closed the evening of October 14 for private event.
