Richard Breitman e Allan Lichtman: FDR and the Jews, Belknap Press
Risvolto
This splendid book should banish forever the notion that Franklin
Roosevelt was a blinkered anti-Semite who made little effort to stop
the Holocaust. With dazzling research and astute judgments, Richard Breitman and Allan Lichtman
portray FDR as a cunning politician who, in the dreadful context of his
times, did more to aid Jews than any other leader in the United States
or abroad. (Michael Kazin, Author Of american Dreamers: How The Left Changed A Nation )
The
FDR who emerges here is concerned with the fate of European Jewry, but
also exquisitely sensitive to the demands of the situation: in short, he
is the ultimately political man, and his approach shifts with each turn
of major events. This comprehensive work will become the definitive
word on the subject. (Noah Feldman, Author Of scorpions: The Battles And Triumphs Of Fdr's Great Supreme Court Justices )
Anyone who wishes to be part of the conversation about FDR's response to the Holocaust would do well to read Richard Breitman and Allan Lichtman's FDR and the Jews. In
a quiet and sober fashion it reexamines what is already known and lays
out new and previously unknown information. (Deborah E. Lipstadt, Author
Of the Eichmann Trial )
A penetrating analysis of the
historical record, uncovering new sources and answering haunting
questions that still linger after 75 years. A must read! (Richard
Ben-Veniste, Senior Partner, Mayer Brown Llp, And Commissioner, 9/11
Commission )
Breitman and Lichtman pursue several
telling currents in FDR's record, namely the president's ability to keep
the private separate from the public, his reliance on Jewish leaders
and his evolving enlightenment toward Jewish issues as he neared the end
of his life. (Kirkus Reviews 20130201)
