Book Description
Written 20 years ago, the first edition of this book sought to present the issues of American diplomacy during World War II, as they were perceived at the time by President Franklin D. Roosevelt and his associates. The author has not changed his basic interpretation of events in this second edition, but there is a greater effort to understand Roosevelt's policies. The author has also benefited from the vast amount of documentation and outstanding works of scholarship which have appeared since the first edition. The author has also given more attention to the Third World, especially Latin America, the Middle East, Korea and Indochina. He also discusses American policy toward the development and use of the atomic bomb. ISBN 0-393-34202-X (pbk.): $7.95.

Book Description
The period from the outset of World War I to the end of World War II was among the most significant in the history of the United States. Twice it was drawn into "foreign entanglements"-- wars it initially thought were no concern of its own and of which it tried to steer clear--only to realize that it could not stand aside. With each one, it geared up in record time, entered the fray massively, and was crucial to the outcome. Each war tested the American people and their leaders, and in each case the country came out of the conflagration stronger than before-and even more important-yet stronger relative to other countries than it had ever been. This was the period when the United States became a world leader. The A to Z of U.S. Diplomacy from World War I through World War II relates the events of this crucial period in U.S. history through a chronology, an introductory essay, and over 600 cross-referenced dictionary entries on key persons, places, events, institutions, and organizations.
