A new post-FDR generation of Americans have been taught in our liberal leftist educational system that the 32nd President was an outstanding war strategist and that Stalin ’s Eastern European invasion was inevitable. Nothing could be further from the truth for the historical reality was that FDR was in reality a dangerous egotistical autocratic bumbler who winged it politically, with little global vision, resulting in multiple catastrophic international disasters that would negatively affect the world for generations to come. The FDR I am going to show you is nothing like what you have been programmed to believe. He was not only a compulsive liar and a hypocrite but also very vindictive, often sadistic to the point of displaying a malicious destructive pattern of behavior that bordered on madness. He was often filled with raging hatred against any opponent who dared to question his supremeness or bruise his delicate manic ego. For decades, the American public has been told a packet of lies repeatedly and in time those falsehoods have not only become accepted history we shoveled to our youth as fact until they read this book by design or chance.

ポール・デイヴィッド・クックによる本作は、聖域化されたルーズベルト像を根底から覆す挑発的な歴史批判の書です。著者の筆致は鋭利で、教育により刷り込まれた「偉大な指導者」という虚像を剥ぎ取り、その裏に潜む狂気的なエゴを白日の下に晒します。歴史がいかに歪められ得るかという真実を問う、文学的な衝撃に満ちた一冊です。 映像化作品では独裁的な緊迫感が視覚的に強調されていますが、原作の深みは、紙面から溢れる著者の凄まじい情念にこそあります。映像が映し出す表層的なカリスマ性と、原作が解剖する冷酷な内面。この二つのメディアを往来することで、読者は歴史の闇に葬られた真実という迷宮へ、より深く誘われることになるでしょう。
