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. 606 $aPresidents$zUnited States$vCorrespondence 606 $aHeads of state$zSoviet Union$vCorrespondence 606 $aWorld War, 1939-1945$vSources 615 0$aPresidents 615 0$aHeads of state 615 0$aWorld War, 1939-1945 676 $a973.917092 686 $a15.70$2bcl 686 $a15.85$2bcl 700 $aRoosevelt$b Franklin D$g(Franklin Delano),$f1882-1945.$0314690 701 $aStalin$b Joseph$f1879-1953.$0315795 701 $aButler$b Susan$f1932-$01801002 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910954291403321 996 $aMy dear Mr. Stalin$94346025 997 $aUNINA
