Leadership in Isolation: FDR and the Origins of the Second World WarIn this sympathetic survey of F.D.R.'s foreign policy before Pearl Harbor, the author diligently explores unpublished material and concludes that Roosevelt never doubted the necessity of American entry into the conflict against the Axis.
