My father’s Random House Dictionary included the Four Freedoms in the frontispiece: “Freedom of Speech”; “Freedom of Worship”; “Freedom from Fear”; and “Freedom from Want”. The Four Freedoms became the Atlantic Charter four months before Pearl Harbor and two months after the Third Reich invaded the Soviet Union. Declaring World War II as the War of the Four Freedoms, the United States supplied millions of tons of Lend-Lease materiel and sacrificed 322,000 American GI’s, while the Soviet Union destroyed the Fascist war machine at the cost of more than twenty-seven million lives of soldiers and civilians.
