Norman Rockwell's Four Freedoms: Images that Inspire a Nation

To an anxious and uncertain nation in 1941, Franklin Delano Roosevelt's Four Freedoms speech gave solemn purpose to America's growing involvement in the Allied war effort.  But it was the images of those freedoms painted by Norman Rockwell—images rooted in the daily lives of ordinary citizens—that truly captured their essence for millions of Americans.

This book tells the Four Freedoms' story—how Rockwell created them, how his efforts were first disdained by U.S. government officials, but then, once the paintings were published in the Saturday Evening Post, how they galvanized the war effort, and were acclaimed across the nation and throughout the world—and still are today.
