The Statue of Liberty: A Transatlantic Story

The Statue of Liberty is one of America’s most powerful symbols, yet when it arrived in crates, no one could have imagined just how powerful it would become.

Our guest will be historian Edward Berenson, author of the new book "The Statue of Liberty: A Transatlantic Story."
