This volume assesses Franklin Roosevelt's role as war leader from
the vantage point of the twenty-first century, by looking at
different aspects of his foreign policy.
Whether World War II made or merely marked the transition of the
USA from a major world power to a superpower, the fact remains that
America's role in the world around it had undergone a dramatic
change. Other nations had long recognized the potential of the USA.
They had seen its power exercized regularly in economics, if only
sporadically in politics. But World War II, and the landscape it
left behind, prompted American leaders and the Congress to conclude
that they had to use the nation's strength to protect and advance
its interests. The end of the Cold War will not end the debate over
the structural reasons for that transformation of American
attitudes and actions. The essays in this book reflect a variety of
views on the question of causation. The group of contributors
provide many varied insights into this crucial change and make this
book an important contribution to the history of this period.
