Book Overview
Perlmutter's hard-hitting, revisionist history of Roosevelt's foreign policy explores FDR's not-so-grand alliance with the ruthless Soviet leader. As the first Western scholar granted access to key foreign ministry documents recently declassified in the former Soviet Union, Perlmutter provides a provocative portrait of a popular leader whose failure to comprehend Stalin's long-range goals had devastating results for the postwar world.

Great Book! One of the most accurate accounts of FDR & Stalin
The official reviews are biased by entrenched misinformation

Telling the truth takes guts when it comes to a sanctified icon, backed by well established and fed ignorance. The brave author tells it the way it is, as far as he knows. "Some of my best friends are communists" came from the mouth of FDR when a congressman attempted to alert him of the "imaginary" danger of communist theft, subversion and outright treason in his administration. If the author takes a good look at what is to be found behind these words, he might have to think twice before he gives his findings to the printer. But in long run he will feel good. "...It was folly to believe that if Russia was treated as a friendly ally that country would respond in kind", said in 1957 Nicholas Roosevelt. A folly it was, for which a hundred excuses are found. A folly glorified to this day by almost all.
