Product Description

Review

"For anyone interested in the Second World War, and especially FDR's handling of that war, Cautious Crusade has much to offer....as the United States fights an international war on terrorism, Cautious Crusade is an interesting, detailed account of how presidential action during a time of war can be shaped and/or hindered by public opinion" ―Presidential Studies Quarterly

"While numerous books have dealt with the propaganda issues of World War II, this enjoyable work is the first one to deal with public opinion polls and their influence on American foreign policy during the war."―Library Journal

5.0 out of 5 starsOutstanding book - totally worth your money
By Malgorzata Faber on 7 Jan. 2010
Format: Paperback
Great book,very clear and had a detail review of this period. I am not a historian, but the authors' language is very accessible, well written and engaging that it was a pleasure to consume. This superb book I understood it easily and as I was reading it I felt like the author virtually placed me in that time. The book had an excellent structure and logic, I liked the tables and pictures as well that helped me to visualize, remember and simply gave me a better idea. This is the book to own!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Our Longest Serving President is discussed in depth. 19 July 2013
By David Jackson - Published on Amazon.com
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
Franklin D. Roosevelt has always been considered one of the greatest presidents in the history of our nation. In fact many sons of the era were named after him including one of my former managers that I reported to. I wrote my final 40 page college major (Government) paper on his accomplishments and legacy.

This book was very detailed revealing a complex man who had to deal with a multitude of political, personal and physical issues during a period in time when our country was threatened by the "Great Depression", Nazi Germany, The Empire of Japan and an isolationist movement. This was while suffering the painful and debilitating effects from polio including paralysis from the waist down. I discovered so many new facts about him that I intend to re-read the book a second and third time. He was president from 1932 until his untimely death in 1945 just before the end of World War II. His death was devastating to most of the nation. I highly recommend it to anyone interested in the history of our nation, the facts behind his decisions and the complex issues present at the time. He is responsible for many of the institutions and culture present in our country today including Social Security, the two term rule for presidents and the sanctity of equal and civil rights for all citizens of all races. A must read even if you don't like his actions and decisions.

2.0 out of 5 stars ACADEMIC HISTORY--HO-HUM 30 April 2013
By Janemb35 - Published on Amazon.com
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
I found this almost impossible to read with any interest. It read like a thesis and a not terribly interesting one at that. My apologies to the author.

4.0 out of 5 stars Tiptoeing into WWII 9 Sept. 2012
By Amazon Customer Kathy Kingsbury Roessler - Published on Amazon.com
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
This is well written history of how we slowly, insidiously slide into WWII. Clearly lots of Americans knew we were going to end up participating in WWII. We needed to get ready materially and emotionally. This book documents how we got there. I had always thought the entire country was ready to go to war after Pearl Harbor was bombed. That wasn't entirely the case. The authors research could have been just a dry recitation of facts but he really did a good job of keeping the human element in this book. I recommend this book to those interested prewar and early war America. There was a ton of information about what was going on behind the scenes.

3.0 out of 5 stars Roosevelt PR 7 Aug. 2012
By K. Silva - Published on Amazon.com
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
Interesting subject that normally does not get in a book by itself. Surprising
that public opinion meant so much to FDR. Obviously, newspapers don't have the
same amount of pull as the 1930's and 40's. Worth the effort to read, although
the writing at times get tedious.

3.0 out of 5 stars Well-documented history. 20 Dec. 2012
By Connie White - Published on Amazon.com
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
The "Cautious Crusade" is a detailed reading of how FDR used opinion polls to help him craft his public responses to the political issues of World War II. An interesting read in light of our recent presidential election 2012. It would be best for someone really interested in the detail of political history, or for any WWII buff.
