Article II of the Constitution gives the President virtually unfettered authority over foreign affairs and the conduct of war. Franklin Roosevelt certainly used that power to maximum effect before and during World War II. One overlooked theater of that war is far more important than most Americans realize: Latin America. Author Mary Jo McConahay describes President Roosevelt’s decade-long dance with the Axis Powers and their Latin American sympathizers in her new book, The Tango War. Join us for a fascinating discussion, chock full of stories, revelations, and unexpected characters—from Nelson Rockefeller to Mickey Mouse.
