Lew exposes FDR’s motive to go to war in Europe and Asia: to establish a “new order” of world democracy after all empires are eliminated, including those of our allies; the British, the French, and the Dutch. In this FDR earnestly wanted to partner with Stalin, who Roosevelt thought to be no threat to democracy and no builder of tyrannies.

At every turn in the war the U.S. did not act in its own interests, but rather those of the U.S.S.R. The U.S. public was sold the idea we were fighting against the ruthless dictatorships of Japan and Germany, when the utterly ruthless dictatorship of communist Russia ended up controlling all of Eastern Europe, as well as China, Mongolia, Manchuria, North Korea, and North Vietnam.

329 identified Soviet agents in the U.S. government helped FDR turn a decisive  American victory into a massive win for global tyranny.
