In a mere nineteen months, from May 1940 to December 1941, the leaders of the world’s six major powers made a series of related decisions that decided the course and outcome of World War II, cost the lives of millions, and profoundly shaped the course of human destiny from that point forward.

FDR And The Soviet Union : The President’s Battles Over Foreign Policy

Attribution
Mary E. Glantz
Publication Details
Book, University Press of Kansas, 2005
Description
Throughout his presidency, Franklin Roosevelt was determined to pursue a peaceful accommodation with an increasingly powerful Soviet Union, an inclination reinforced by the onset of world war. Focusing on the conflicts between a president who sought close relations between the two nations and the diplomatic and military officers who opposed them, she shows how these career officers were able to resist and shape presidential policy-and how their critical views helped shape the parameters of the subsequent Cold War. A case study in foreign relations, high-level policymaking, and civil-military relations, FDR and the Soviet Union enlarges our understanding of the ideologies and events that set the stage for the Cold War.

- TABLE OF CONTENTS
- PUBLISHER DESCRIPTION
Description
Hugh Ragsdale’s analysis of East European documentation sheds new light on the Munich Crisis. The Crisis has been thoroughly studied in British, French, and German documents, and, consequently, we have learned that the weakness in the Western position at Munich consisted of the Anglo-French opinion that the Soviet commitment to its allies–France and Czechoslovakia–was utterly unreliable.

The Conquerors : Roosevelt, Truman And The Destruction Of Hitler’s Germany, 1941-1945

Attribution
Michael Beschloss
Publication Details
Book, Simon & Schuster, 2002
Description
FDR’s actions so shocked his closest friend in the Cabinet, Secretary of the Treasury Henry Morgenthau, Jr., that Morgenthau risked their friendship by accusing the President of “acquiescence” in the “murder of the Jews.” Finally it shows how the unprepared new President Truman managed to pick up the pieces and push Stalin and Churchill to accede to a bargain that would let the Anglo-Americans block Soviet threats against Western Europe and ensure that the world would not have to fear another Adolf Hitler.
