About A Study Guide to the Four Freedoms

This booklet was inspired by a four-part lecture series, America and the World: Ethical Dimensions to Power, held at Eckerd College during the 2004-2005 academic year.
The series was part of Eckerd's Presidential Events Series, the Carnegie Council, and the Col. Christian L. and Edna M. March International Relations Lecture Series.
