Wendell Willkie is an enigma! He switched political parties and fought against the grain to stand up for what he believed in. Join us in this episode as we discuss... Willkie's childhood and background, his career as an activist and lawyer for the railroad, the battle over the TVA, an unlikely bid for the presidency, a friendship with FDR, and much more! __________________________ Check out our new logo t-shirt! __________________________ We recorded an audiobook!
