Publisher's Synopsis
This is a record of the relationship between two world leaders of World War II; Roosevelt, patrician, aristocrat in American politics, deeply devoted to his national heritage and Stalin, low-born, bandit and revolutionist from his early years, liquidator of millions of Ukrainians, and purger of his own party in the Moscow trials of mid-1930s.;The second front, the Mediterranean strategy, the Teheran and Yalta summits, the Warsaw Uprising, are all covered in this book, showing Roosevelt's ultimately futile pursuit of Stalin's friendship.;Robert Nisbet has also written "The Sociological Tradition" and "Social Change and History".
