About this Item
Description:
PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT AND THE COMING OF THE WAR, 1941: A STUDY IN APPEARANCES AND REALITIES, Charles A. Beard, hardcover, stated third printing, 1948. BOOK CONDITION: very good. The text block is in near fine condition, with no tears, dogears, or marks. No signature of prior owner, but a portion of a tiny bookstore label or bookmark is still attached inside the front cover. The first free endpaper has been inexplicably cut in half, top to bottom, but there is a second, complete endpaper with a small spot. Not a library book or remainder. The black boards are in fair condition (bumped spine and corners, spotting on front and back ). 9 ½ x 6 1/2, 614 pages, 36 ounces XX [Amazon description] Conceived by Charles Beard as a sequel to his provocative study of American Foreign Policy in the Making, 1932-1940, President Roosevelt and the Coming of the War outraged a nation, permanently damaging Beard's status as America's most influential historian. Beard's main argument is that both Democratic and Republican leaders, but Roosevelt above all, worked quietly in 1940 and 1941 to insinuate the United States into the Second World War. Basing his work on available congressional records and administrative reports, Beard concludes that FDR's image as a neutral, peace-loving leader was a smokescreen, behind which he planned for war against Germany and Japan even well before the attack on Pearl Harbor. Beard contends that the distinction between aiding allies in Europe like Great Britain and maintaining strict neutrality with respect to nations like Germany and Japan was untenable. Beard does not argue that all nations were alike, or that some did and others did not merit American support, but rather that Roosevelt chose to aid Great Britain secretly and unconstitutionally rather than making the case to the American public. President Roosevelt shifted from a policy of neutrality to one of armed intervention, but he did so without surrendering the appearance, the fiction of neutrality. Seller Inventory # 002875
