About the book: 2003 / "This book will touch on the war only in passing. Its more important purpose is simply to shed light on the problems of the world,” wrote Elliott Roosevelt in 1946. This idea runs like a red thread throughout the book. How to maintain peace when allied solidarity begins to weaken and a global confrontation between powers is looming on the horizon? How to resist the blow of Nazism? Is a descent into World War III inevitable? How to overcome an internal crisis? How to maintain stability and peace? All these questions faced the world community more than sixty years ago. They are still relevant today. President Roosevelt showed amazing statesmanship and humanity in resolving these issues, so his opinion is important to us now. The author of the book, Elliot Roosevelt, is not just the son of the US President, but also a witness to unique events in world history: World War II, the famous conferences in Casablanca, Cairo, Tehran and Yalta, he was the one who was close, worked with the great man. Thanks to him, we can enter the Oval Office, learn about the innermost thoughts of Franklin Delano Roosevelt as a creator of history, and feel the spirit of the times.
