Title: The first offensive 1942
First published: 1973
Description: When the attack on Pearl Harbor brought the United States into the Second World War, public support for the military effort was still far from unanimous and was directed largely toward the Pacific, where American forces were engaged with the enemy. President Franklin D. Roosevelt, however, believed that his country's vital interests were more directly at stake in Europe. This book addresses the many misunderstandings that developed with the Roosevelt's European approach to dealing with the political tensions and warfare.
