Sommario/riassunto: Herbert Hoover's ""magnum opus""?at last published nearly fifty years after its completion offers a revisionist reexamination of World War II and its cold war aftermath and a sweeping indictment of the ""lost statesmanship"" of Franklin Roosevelt. Hoover offers his frank evaluation of Roosevelt's foreign policies before Pearl Harbor and policies during the war, as well as an examination of the war's consequences, including the expansion of the Soviet empire at war's end and the eruption of the cold war against the Communists.
