In the summer of 1939, President Roosevelt addresses an anxious nation in response to atrocities in Europe committed by Hitler's Nazi Germany. Roosevelt declares in his radio broadcast the U.S. "will remain a neutral nation." He acknowledges, however, that he "cannot ask that every American remain neutral in thought."
