I think academic scholarship has already come around to the position that FDR screwed the Jews. As early as 1984, David Wyman's "The Abandonment of the Jews." (http://www.amazon.com/Abandonment-Jews-America-Holocaust-1941-1945/dp/159558174X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1429546887&sr=8-1&keywords=David+wyman) and he concludes "senior American officials could indeed have saved many thousands, if not millions, of European Jews by intervening earlier."

But Wyman isn't alone, and the historians have more or less done their job on this topic.

BS. Those historians you speak of were not in the front lines but rather comfortably ensconced in their academic easy chairs while smoking leftist Utopian weed.

These discussions have been aired out ad nauseum and your love affair with these historian wimps will not change the truth. And the truth is that without the sacrifice of hundreds and hundreds of thousands of American lives far more Jewish lives would have been lost.

LS: "I think academic scholarship has already come around to the position that FDR screwed the Jews."

While I hate to disagree with you on such an important subject, my guide to this is:

FDR and the Jews (2013) Richard Breiteman

Breitman's thesis is that Roosevelt cared more, and did more than is usually recognized these days.

I think academic scholarship has already come around to the position that FDR screwed the Jews.

There was a controversy about this two years back.

My understanding was that there was still much disagreement, especially given the great differences between what people expect now and what was possible then.
