Description
Franklin D. Roosevelt's leadership during World War II was marked by his mastery of foreign affairs and his role in shaping the Allied effort. This second part of Roger Daniels' biography explores FDR's growing influence, drawing on his own words to the American people and eyewitness accounts of his accomplishments. Roosevelt played a crucial role in orchestrating an immense wartime effort, wielding unprecedented power over strategic military and diplomatic matters. He also created an arsenal of democracy that armed the Allies and helped establish the United Nations, with the aim of ensuring a lasting post-war peace. Despite facing opposition from a increasingly conservative Congress, FDR continued to promote liberal reform and expand general prosperity. This book provides new insights into Roosevelt's presidency and campaign during six pivotal years that changed the world forever.
