More About This Textbook

Overview

US historians and political scientists trace and analyze the evolution of Roosevelt's foreign policy during a time of ever-deepening involvement in world affairs in the 1930s, and his role as wartime statesman. Among the unifying themes are his increasingly bold internationalist thought and sense of purpose, the cautious nature of his leadership, his inclination to view foreign and domestic policies as intricately bound together, and his success and failure at educating the American people on foreign policy issues and wartime decisions.
