Summary:
"Historian Marc Wortman explores the little-known history of
America
's clandestine involvement in
World
War
II before the attack on Pearl Harbor. Prior to that infamous day,
America
had long been involved in a
shadow
war
. Winston Churchill, England's beleaguered new Prime Minister, pleaded with Franklin D. Roosevelt for help. FDR concocted ingenious ways to come to his aid, without breaking the Neutrality Acts. Launching Lend-Lease, conducting espionage at home and in South
America
to root out Nazi sympathizers, and waging undeclared
war
in the Atlantic, were just some of the tactics with which FDR battled Hitler in the shadows. FDR also had to contend with growing isolationism and anti-Semitism as he tried to influence public opinion. While Americans were sympathetic to those being crushed under Axis power, they were unwilling to enter a foreign
war
. Wortman tells the story through the eyes of the powerful as well as ordinary citizens. Their stories weave throughout the intricate tapestry of events that unfold during the crucial year of 1941. Combining military and political history, Wortman tells the eye-opening story of how FDR took the country to
war
. Marc Wortman is an independent historian and freelance journalist. He is the author of The Millionaires' Unit: The Aristocratic Flyboys Who Fought the Great
War
and Invented American Air Power and The Bonfire: The Siege and Burning of Atlanta. He lives in New Haven, Connecticut."--Provided by publisher.
