FDR: The Other Side Of The Coin

by Hamilton Fish

The Other Side of the Coin-How We Were Tricked into World War II. The early chapters of this book deal with FDR's clandestine diplomatic negotiations in the months before U.S. intervention in WWII. The author, former Rep. Hamilton Fish, documents how FDR refused every prewar peace concession the Japanese offered, and later refused peace initiatives from the Germans. In his analysis of the geopolitical effects of the Yalta agreements, Mr. Fish traces the causes and roots of the Korean and Vietnam wars to Yalta.

[Eduardo Freitas · Rating 5 out of 5]

One book that should be read by everyone interested in World War II and contemporary history. The side of the coin the author shows about Franklin D(eficit) Roosevelt is a formal indictment against his actions during his long tenure. No, he did not save America from the Great Depression with the fascistic "New Deal". No, he was not a great leader during war time. Indeed, he misled America into war for his own agrandisement.
