Lend-Lease Program Discussion | AMC Online

75 years ago, the Lend-Lease program completed its operations on September 20, 1945. To commemorate this substantial US contribution to the war effort, we will discuss Lend-Lease with esteemed US academic Warren F. Kimball, on Sunday, September 20, at 6:00 pm Moscow time.
In the 1980s and 1990s, Dr. Kimball worked on a ten-year joint project with Russian, British, and American scholars on the history of the Second World War, resulting in the monumental book, Allies at War: The Soviet, American, and British Experience, 1939-1945. He has published over 50 essays and several books on Roosevelt, Churchill, Lend-Lease, and the era of World War II. He is Robert Treat Professor of History (emeritus) at Rutgers University.
