Cautious Crusade
by Steven Casey
"How did Americans view Nazi Germany during World War II? How did the Roosevelt administration portray the Third Reich in its propaganda activities? What impact did public opinion have on U.S. policy between 1941 and 1945?" "In Cautious Crusade, author Steven Casey boldly challenges conventional wisdom about America's fight against Hitler. Drawing on a wealth of original documentary sources, he traces the development of elite and mass attitudes toward Germany, from the early days of the war when attention was focused on ways of destroying Nazism to the end of the conflict when efforts were made to remake and remold the German nation." "Cautious Crusade sheds new light on a crucial era in American history. It is essential reading for anyone interested in American history, the Roosevelt administration, and World War II."--Jacket.
