This work examines how Roosevelt navigated prewar neutrality to push the United States toward intervention on the side of the Allies in World War II, and considers critically his wartime policy of unconditional surrender and his unprecedented acceptance of a fourth term. It covers his prewar policies that sidestepped neutrality, including covert submarine warfare, air patrol of the North Atlantic, the Lend Lease Act and coordination between the American and British navies, and critiques his plans for rebuilding postwar Europe.

The year 1917 found most of the world - including the United States - reeling from the effects of war. By the end of World War I, most Americans had vowed never again to become involved in European problems. In 1935, with war between Germany and Britain increasingly imminent, this stance was formalized. Congress passed the first Neutrality Act, which was not only designed to keep America out of foreign wars, but also called for the president to declare an immediate embargo of arms and munitions to all belligerent countries

You start your book at the conference in Tehran in November 1943, which Churchill called the greatest concentration of political power the world had yet seen. Put us inside that moment-and describe the three protagonists, and the differences between them. Stalin put them off constantly, saying he was too busy and had to be at the Russian front. In fact, he never got within 100 miles of the front.

American Warlords is a popular biography of four key American World War II leaders: President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Secretary of War Henry L. Stimson, Gen. George Catlett Marshall, and Adm. Ernest J. King. Jordan organizes the book into a prologue, three chronological parts, and an epilogue. The prologue sets the stage by recounting one of America's tragedies-the Japanese surprise attack on Pearl Harbor. This section not only discusses the events leading to American involvement in World War II but also provides background on the strategic leaders upon whom the author later concentrates his narrative.

Reeling from the devastation of World War I, many Americans vowed never again to become involved in European conflicts. This stance was formalized in 1935 when Congress passed the first Neutrality Act, which was not only designed to keep America out of foreign wars but also called for the president to declare an immediate embargo of arms and munitions to all belligerent countries. As war loomed and eventually erupted in 1939, President Franklin D. Roosevelt instituted several policies that aided the Allies, and American neutrality was questionable many months before the attack on Pearl Harbor. This work examines how Roosevelt navigated prewar neutrality to push the United States toward intervention on the side of the Allies in World War II, and considers critically his wartime policy of unconditional surrender and his unprecedented acceptance of a fourth term. It covers his prewar policies that sidestepped neutrality, including covert submarine warfare, air patrol of the North Atlantic, the Lend Lease Act and coordination between the American and British navies, and critiques his plans for rebuilding postwar Europe.

Reeling from the devastation of World War I, many Americans vowed never again to become involved in European conflicts. This stance was formalized in 1935 when the U.S. Congress passed the first Neutrality Act (subsequently renewed in 1936 and 1937 and revised in 1939), which wasn't only designed to keep America out of foreign wars but also called for the president to declare an immediate embargo of all arms and munitions to all belligerent countries. As war loomed and eventually erupted in September, 1939, FDR (he had been Assistant Secretary of the Navy during World War I) was maneuvering the U.S. to become involved in the conflict. In direct violation of the Neutrality Act, he instituted several policies that aided both Great Britain and France: initiated "neutrality patrols" inside U.S. waters, extending the neutral zone from 300 to an unheard of 1,000 miles, and ordering U.S. troops to Iceland to replace British troops that were needed elsewhere. FDR was hoping to provoke an incident he could use as an excuse to declare war. The problem was that Hitler was too smart to take the bait. He ordered his commanders not to respond to FDR's provocations. At the same time this was going on, he was running for re-election in 1940 and made the following pledge: "And while I'm talking to you fathers and mothers, and I will say it again and again, your boys will not be sent into foreign wars. They are going into training to form a force so strong that, by its very existence, it will keep the threat of war far away from our shores. The purpose of our defense is defense." As Woodrow Wilson's re-election slogan in 1916 was "He kept Us Out Of War" was a lie; so to was FDR's "Again and Again And Again" 1940 speech a lie. FDR quickly found the solution in the Tripartite Treaty, concluded between Germany, Italy, and Japan on September 27, 1940, which obligated any of the three to treat an attack on the other two as an attack on itself. This meant that if FDR could provoke Japan to attack the U.S., he would indirectly get the war he wanted with Germany. A diplomatic "incident" wouldn't be enough. Such was the sentiment against the war among the American public at the time, that only a major catastrophe could have changed their minds. The U.S. had been tricked into World War I and many of those people were still alive and adamamntly opposed to our entry into another war. So, FDR had to continue the pretense that he was a mere innocent bystander. On June 22, 1941, Hitler invaded the former Soviet Union and Stalin immediately asked the U.S. for assistance. FDR was now even more frantic to embroil us in the war and so began the Land Lease Program to aid Stalin with arms and equipment. In regard to the Japanese, FDR imposed an oil embargo which he had hoped would bring Japan to its knees since this small island country had little oil. Adding to this already tense situation, FDR ordered Admiral J.O. Richardson, commander of the Pacific Fleet, to impose a blockade that would have prevented Japan from using the vast Pacific Ocean. He refused and was fired by FDR, which was just as well, because had the Japanese attacked, Richardson would have been blamed instead of Admiral Kimmel (see Day Of Deceit: The Truth About Franklin Delano Roosevelt And Pearl Harbor). This detailed and well-researched account, HOW ROOSEVELT FAILED AMERICA IN WORLD WAR II, clearly shows how FDR navigated pre-war neutrality to push the U.S. toward intervention on the side of the Allies in World War II and considers critically his wartime policy of unconditional surrender and his unprecedented acceptance of a fourth term. It covers his pre-war policies that sidestepped neutrality, including covert submarine warfare, air patrols of the North Atlantic, the Land Lease Act, and coordination between the British and American navies, and critiques his plans for rebuilding postwar Europe. Thirteen appendices parallel pre-war planning by FDR and Woodrow Wilson, and reproduce such key documents as the Atlantic Charter and the Potsdam Declaration. After reading this book, you will have to re-examine what you have been taught about FDR and World War II.
