Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

"Based on exhaustive research, this highly readable book is an important contribution to an important subject. Dominic Tierney subtly analyzes FDR's juggling of international and electoral pressures to explain the contradictions and dramatic changes in his passage from isolationism to bitter regret about American abandonment of the Spanish Republic."--Paul Preston, author of "The Spanish Civil War: Reaction, Revolution, and Revenge" ""FDR and the Spanish Civil War "is an important, well documented study. It will not only prompt a rethinking of how the Spanish Civil War shaped and reflected Franklin D. Roosevelt's policies; it will become the standard book on the subject."--Warren F. Kimball, author of "The Juggler: Franklin Roosevelt as Wartime Statesman"
