Im no FDR fan.. but the point in alternate history is delay of the US in the World War 2 means we don’t develop the atom bomb which means the Germans get it first... so Really boils down to an intervention vs isolationist....
realistically eliminate Winston Churchhill a conservative who really was the original driving force against stopping Hitler and you have the same result...
I’m not necessarily a fan of conservative isolationist
Doesn’t the book also include the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor being a huge success ( oil reserves destroyed, sub pens and repair yard in complete ruins ).
The above was the original Japanese plan. Had they pulled it off and turned Pearl harbor into a waste land it would have been pretty hard to conduct the war from California.
December 7, 1941 - Japanese bomb Pearl Harbor December 8, 1941 - United States declares war on Japan. December 11, 1941 - Hitler declares war on the United States.
Would another president not declared war after Peal Harbor? I suggest that pretty much any rational non-socialist loving president would have joined WW2 earlier not later. It shows the bias of whomever created the series.
