Aprašymas

The first book to fully explore the complex partnership during World War II between FDR and Stalin, by the editor of My Dear Mr. Stalin: The Complete Correspondence of Franklin D. Roosevelt and Joseph V. Stalin.
 
Franklin D. Roosevelt and Joseph V. Stalin were more than allies of convenience during the war. They were partners who shared the same outlook for the postwar world and formed an uneasy but deep friendship. Making use of previously classified materials, Susan Butler reassesses in-depth the relationship between these two men who shaped the world's political stage from World War II to the decades leading up to and into the new century. She tells the story of how the leaders of the capitalist and Communist worlds joined forces to defeat Hitler and illuminates the real alliance the two men forged. She reveals their modus operandi; what they knew and thought about each other; and how, by the time of Roosevelt's death in April, 1945, they had come to a meeting of minds, agreeing on a world organization to prevent war, on the evils of colonialism, on the presumption that Germany had to be dealt with as a future, as well as present, threat that could never again be allowed to menace civilization--and on their respective goal: to fashion a world without war for at least a generation.
