Abstract
Despite the multitude of scholarship on Franklin D. Roosevelt, author Casey's meticulously researched book provides a new insight into Roosevelt's public stance vis-à-vis Nazi Germany. Against the backdrop of American public reluctance that initially misunderstood the danger of militaristic Germany, Roosevelt sought to carve an approach that was a step ahead of public opinion but not so far ahead as to appear inconsistent with public sentiments. While Roosevelt was concerned with the Nazi threat prior to 1941, the public was, by and large, isolationist. Even after Pearl Harbor, the public was still ignorant of what Nazism stood for. Only by 1943, when the Allies made significant progress, did Roosevelt present his demand for "unconditional surrender." Even this approach was not without criticism back home.
