Craig Nelson, author of V is for Victory:  Franklin Roosevelt’s American Revolution and the Triumph of World War II, joins The Realignment. Craig and Marshall discuss the "miracle" of America's manufacturing potential, FDR's leadership before and during World War II, how the combination of the New Deal and American industrial strength birthed 20th century middle-class prosperity, extraordinary scientific and technological achievements, and how the lessons from the period apply to today's defense manufacturing challenges.
