| Summary: | This book reflects an ambitious agenda, one that encompasses the examination of Franklin D. Roosevelt's involvement in controversial issues related to the Holocaust. Richard Breitman and Alan J. Lichtman have ably synthesized existing research, but they have also made use of their own archival research. Readers will be grateful for their dispassionate examination of a subject that has often generated more heat than light., The theme “Roosevelt and the Jews” has been debated since the 1930s, and especially after the appearance in 1967 of Arthur Morse's While Six Million Died: A Chronicle of American Apathy. |
