Ebook: How Franklin D. Roosevelt Fought World War II

After Adolf Hitler attacked Poland on September 1, 1939, igniting World War II, it fell to President Franklin D. Roosevelt to keep his nation neutral while preparing it for war. When Japan's surprise attack on Pearl Harbor brought that war to America, his strong, steady leadership guided it through all but four months of the most brutal war in the history of the world. Through full-color and black-and-white photographs, informative sidebars, and engaging narrative, readers gain insight into Roosevelt's administration and the people who advised him, as well as the combat and political strategies of the war itself and its legacy.
