On April 12, 1945, Franklin Roosevelt died and Harry Truman took
his place in the White House. Historians have been arguing ever
since about the implications of this transition for American
foreign policy in general and relations with the Soviet Union in
particular. Was there essential continuity in policy or did
Truman's arrival in the Oval Office prompt a sharp reversal away
from the approach of his illustrious predecessor? This study
explores this controversial issue and in the process casts
important light on the outbreak of the Cold War. From Roosevelt to
Truman investigates Truman's foreign policy background and examines
the legacy that FDR bequeathed to him. After Potsdam and the
American use of the atomic bomb, both of which occurred under
Truman's presidency, the US floundered between collaboration and
confrontation with the Soviets, which represents a turning point in
the transformation of American foreign policy. This work reveals
that the real departure in American policy came only after the
Truman administration had exhausted the legitimate possibilities of
the Rooseveltian approach of collaboration with the Soviet Union.
