Agreed, The New Dealer's War is very good.

I would also point to:

Felix Wittmer's The Yalta Betrayal from 1953, and

Mark Willey's Pearl Harbor - The Mother of all Conspiracies released in 1999. Willey's posited that the United States entry into WWII - by provoking Japanese - was really to save Stalin and the USSR.

Also, an interesting fact - the Wilson administation insisted - emphatically - that the SS LUSITAINIA was not carrying war materiel. It was not unitl the mid-1970's, when a British underseas film crew published photographs of her cargo (clearing showing munitions) that the US Archives "found" the original cargo manifest showing the "truth."

Note also that even today a myriad of Pearl Harbor documents - even some PURPLE messages - have never been released.

So, yes, the FDR history is very incomplete.

In The New Dealer's War Flemming says that FDR was an anglophobe, and that FDR had the Navy harassing U-boats "throughout the summer of 1941." But he never gives the date of the German invasion of the USSR, so I had to look it up--June 22, 1941. IOW, the very first day of "the summer of 1941."
