Synopses & Reviews
This important collection brings together contributions from an impressive group of scholars to comprehensively examine Franklin D. Roosevelts response to the Holocaust. Addressing the severe critiques of FDR that arose after the war and what some see as his failure to stop the genocide of Europes Jewish community, the book looks at his policies between 1933 and 1942, his rescue efforts during the war, and the possibility for future research and analysis. This is the definitive resource on a pivotal issue in American history.
