FDR, Charles Lindbergh, and Presidential Libraries with Paul Sparrow


Listen Later

Paul Sparrow, who served as Director of the Franklin D. Roosevelt Presidential Library and Museum from 2015 to 2022, has written the book Awakening the Spirit of America about the war of words between FDR and Charles Lindbergh in 1940-41.
