Roosevelt and Joseph V. Stalin. This collection of more than three hundred hot-war messages, never before fully available in any language, is an invaluable primary source for understanding the relationship that developed between these two great world leaders during a time of supreme world crisis. The correspondence, secret at the time, begins with a letter Roosevelt wrote to Stalin offering aid to the Soviet Union following Hitler's surprise attack in 1941. It ends with a message that was an attempt to minimize the differences between the two leaders, approved by Roosevelt only minutes before his death in 1945. The book traces the evolution of their unique relationship, revealing the statesmanship of the two men and their thinking about the grave events of their time. An informative introduction to the volume and generous annotations set the letters in context.PresidentsUnited StatesCorrespondenceHeads of stateSoviet UnionCorrespondenceWorld War, 1939-1945SourcesPresidentsHeads of stateWorld War, 1939-1945973.91709215.70bcl15.85bclRoosevelt Franklin D(Franklin Delano),1882-1945.314690Stalin Joseph1879-1953.315795Butler Susan1932-1801002MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910954291403321My dear Mr. Stalin4346025UNINA
