4.9/5 (14712 ratings)

Description:Franklin D. Roosevelt's presidency ranks among the most important in American history. Covering a momentous period including the Great Depression and World War II, "it will remain a continuing source of interest and instruction to the nation," Robert Dallek writes.Here is the first full-scale history of American foreign policy during Roosevelt's presidency. Based on extensive research in American and British records, many of which were first made available in the 1970s, the book offers a provocative portrait of the enigmatic FDR and challenges many of the conventional assumptions about his intentions in world affairs.Important events march across the pages of this major diplomatic study which covers:* the London Economic Conference of 1933* American relations with Latin America, especially Cuba, and the growth of the Good Neighbor Policy* the rise of Nazi Germany* the Spanish Civil War* Hitler's seizure of Austria* Munich and the surrender of Czechoslovakia* American neutrality and the election of 1940* the Battle of Britain and Roosevelt's attempts to support England* Pearl Harbor* the unfolding of the war on three continents and the Allies on the verge of victory when FDR died in April 1945.Dallek describes the way FDR responded to domestic pressures, especially public opinion and Congressional sentiment. Roosevelt emerges as the consummate politician, intensely aware of how far ahead of domestic attitudes he could go without seriously damaging his diplomatic initiatives. Dallek explains many of the seeming vagaries of FDR's diplomacy by reference to his pragmatic response to domestic pressures.Dallek also depicts the close collaboration between those extraordinary individuals and statesmen, Roosevelt and Churchill, and offers insight into FDR's relationships, stormy and otherwise, with such wartime allies as Josef Stalin, Chiang Kai-shek, and General Charles de Gaulle (a particular thorn in FDR's side).This history, written with real sweep and style, will remain the definitive study of Roosevelt's diplomacy for our generation.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
