That statement, demanding the unconditional surrender of Germany,
Italy, and Japan, was attacked immediately by those who felt it
would prolong the war. Now, three decades later, it is still the
subject of heated debate. In this new study, Raymond G. O'Connor
views the unconditional surrender policy as one of Roosevelt's
great successes. It did not prolong the war, and by eliminating the
preconditions for a negotiated peace, and the territorial disputes
that accompany them, it helped to maintain the tenuous relationship
between the three Allied leaders, so important in bringing about
the Axis capitulation. Equally important, the policy was a vital
instrument in achieving the war's political objectives objectives
the author says Roosevelt understood better than his British
counterpart, Winston Churchill. With the availability of new
sources, Professor O'Connor has been able to reconsider thoroughly
all aspects of the unconditional surrender policy, from its origins
and Churchill's role in its formation to its effects on the victory
it helped to bring about."
