The struggle to intervene -- The crucibles of grand strategy -- Cold war in the Atlantic -- Showdown in the Pacific -- "The massed forces of humanity" -- The endless battlefields -- The cauldron of war -- The state of the nation -- The flickering torch -- Casablanca -- The administration -- The strategy of freedom -- Coalition : crisis and renewal -- The lords of the hill -- The dominion of Mars -- The fateful lightning -- The grand referendum -- The ordeal of strategy -- The supreme test -- With strong and active faith -- Home-coming.
The second entry in James Macgregor Burns's definitive two-volume biography of Roosevelt begins with the president's precedent-breaking third term election in 1940, just as Americans were beginning to face the likelihood of war. Here, Burns examines Roosevelt's skillful wartime leadership as well as his vision for post-war peace. Hailed by William Shirer as "the definitive book on Roosevelt in the war years," and by bestselling author Barbara Tuchman as "engrossing, informative, endlessly readable," The Soldier of Freedom is a moving profile of a leader gifted with rare political talent in an era of extraordinary challenges, sacrifices, heroism, and hardship.
