I think we're underestimating the value of FDR's wartime leadership. Look at the generals & admirals he put in charge of the war: Nimitz, Patton, MacArthur, Bradley, Eisenhower, Marshall, et al.

I've read Amity Schlaes' "The Forgotten Man", and it's spot on. FDR was bailed out by WWII, no doubt.

read M. Stanton Evans & Diana West on FDR’s conduct of the war, specifically, his subservience to Stalin.

Good point that. FDR made many mistakes, both foreign and domestic, but he beat both Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan in less than 4 years. That was simply a remarkable achievement.

Certainly FDR didn't do it on his own. But I'll give credit where credit is due. And as a side argument, compare FDR's wartime results with those of LBJ and Bush II. FDR chose to win, period. The other two chose nonsensical nation-building.
