Discord Over Diplomacy

Patrick J. Hearden. Roosevelt Confronts Hitler: America's Entry into World War II. DeKalb: Northern Illinois University Press, 1987. xii + 328 pp. Illus. Norman M. Littell, ed. Jonathan Dembo. My Roosevelt Years. Seattle: University of Washington Press, 1987. xxi + 422 pp. Illus. Frederick W. Marks III. Wind Over Sand: The Diplomacy of Franklin Roosevelt. Athens: University of Georgia Press, 1988. xiv + 462 pp. Illus. Franklin D. Roosevelt stirred up storms of controversy during his own lifetime. Now, almost half a century since his death, scholars are still debating New Deal foreign policy issues. Frederick W. Marks and Patrick J. Hearden present differing interpretations of Roosevelt's diplomacy from the perspective of professional historians. Norman Littell's diary gives us the day-by-day reactions of a highly-placed government official who lived through those momentous times. All three help to shed light on this rich and complex era in American history
