ROOSEVELT: Uncompromising idealist or ruthless pragmatist?

Much loved by America and elected President for an unprecedented four terms. Renowned for his domestic policy and paternalism in America’s darkest days of the Depression. We now deliver history’s verdict on Roosevelt’s involvement in World War 2.

Starting in the 1930s, we analyse how Roosevelt offered aid to the Allies and eventually became embroiled in the Second World War despite America's strict neutrality laws. We also examine the darker side of Roosevelt’s character and the controversy surrounding the Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbour. Were the Japanese provoked? Did Roosevelt know of the impending Japanese attack? The definitive verdict is also delivered on Roosevelt’s vast contribution to the course of WW2, the post-war peace agreements and his enduring legacy. Did he herald an age of International co-operation? Or was Roosevelt responsible for welding the Iron Curtain firmly shut - depriving Eastern Europe of the light of liberty for almost half a century?
