64. Tim Cook on The Good Allies: Canada and the US in Wartime

Auto-generated Epiphan closed captions will be available at this event.

When the Second World War broke out in 1939, it set in motion a deadly struggle between the Axis powers and the Allies, but also fraught negotiations and shifting relationships between the Allies. To defend the coasts of North America, Canada and the US forged a new military alliance—one that would ultimately last long after the war ended. Bestselling author and Chief Historian at the Canadian War Museum Tim Cook joins us with The Good Allies: a masterful account of how the two nations made the transition from wary rivals to steadfast allies. This conversation will explore our intertwined history of bleeding together to save the world from the threat of fascism; it will also probe the realities of our relationship in the present moment, in light of all that we have done together and for each other. Moderated by Stephen Quinn.
