What effect did personality and circumstance have on US foreign
policy during World War II? This incisive account of US envoys
residing in the major belligerent countries - Japan, Germany,
Italy, China, France, Great Britain, USSR - highlights the
fascinating role played by such diplomats as Joseph Grew, William
Dodd, William Bullitt, Joseph Kennedy and W. Averell Harriman.
Between Hitler's 1933 ascent to power and the 1945 bombing of
Nagasaki, US ambassadors sculpted formal policy - occasionally
deliberately, other times inadvertently - giving shape and meaning
not always intended by Franklin D. Roosevelt or predicted by his
principal advisors. From appeasement to the Holocaust and the onset
of the Cold War, David Mayers examines the complicated interaction
between policy, as conceived in Washington, and implementation on
the ground in Europe and Asia. By so doing, he also sheds needed
light on the fragility, ambiguities and enduring urgency of
diplomacy and its crucial function in international politics.
