This week on Newsmakers we highlight former Michigan Senator Arthur Vandenberg.

At a time when America is turning inward and nationalism is on the rise, what can Americans learn from Senator Arthur Vandenberg? The Grand Rapids republican passed away nearly 70 years ago, but a new book by Hank Meijer shines the light on Vandenberg.
