For many Americans, Franklin Delano Roosevelt's role in leading the United States throughout most of World War II has made him one of America's most venerated presidents. Biographers have all but lionized FDR for his war leadership, a tendency that has been reinforced lately as Americans celebrate the riches of memory by saluting the generation that won that titanic global conflict with blockbuster movies and bestselling books. But, as Thomas Fleming reminds us, memory is not history, and in The New Dealers' War, he reveals an entirely different Roosevelt from the one that most people like to remember. Starting with the leak to the press of Roosevelt's famous Rainbow Plan~for which Fleming blames Roosevelt himself, as a way of manipulating Hitler into a declaration of war against the US~then spiraling back to FDR's inept prewar diplomacy with Japan and his various duplicities in luring Japan into an attack on the US Fleet in the Pacific, Fleming takes us on a journey through the incredibly fractious struggles and debates that went on in Washington, the nation, and the world as FDR and his fellow New Dealers strove to impose their will on the conduct of the War. At the center, however, is Roosevelt, a president waging a global war, a leader in remorseless decline, battered by ideological forces and primitive hatreds which he frequently failed to understand, often leading to disastrous consequences. Among these was his insistence on "unconditional surrender" for Germany and Japan, which he announced at the 1943 Casablanca summit conference. Winston Churchill was "dumbfounded" and Dwight Eisenhower, George Marhsall and virtually every other high~ranking officer in the British and American high command were appalled. The policy doomed the hopes of the German Resistance for a coup d'etat that would have ended the war in 1943, saving millions of lives. No one in England or America was even dimly aware of the existence of this "Front of Decent People" because FDR had forbidden any mention of them in the media. Equally unpublicized was the awful fate of Europe's Jews, about which the New Dealers did little but wring their hands. Meanwhile, Roosevelt and his inner circle embraced Soviet Russia's dictator, Josef Stalin, not merely as a badly needed wartime ally, but as a benevolent partner in the postwar world. In doing so, they suppressed the story of the Katyn Massacre and ignored evidence that Stalin had Soviet agents at the highest levels of the American government. Unquestionably, The New Dealers' War is one of those rare books that will force readers to rethink what they think they know about one of the most pivotal events in the American past. It will surely spark debate about FDR's role in shaping the course of history in the twentieth century.
