“He is the truest friend; he has the farthest vision; he is the greatest man I’ve ever known.”
- Sir Winston Churchill, speaking of Franklin Delano Roosevelt in 1943


Having recently finished a book on President Herbert Hoover, it seemed only natural to move on to his successor in office – and the man in whose shadow he has disappeared: Franklin D. Roosevelt.

Finding a book about FDR is easy. Indeed, finding a thousand books on FDR is easy. You literally have to type only those three letters into a browser, and you get all the options in the world. The challenge comes in picking the right one. There are biographies aplenty, both single and multi-volumes. There are books on FDR and his wife, Eleanor; on FDR and his friendship with Churchill; on FDR as a commander-in-chief; on FDR and the Great Depression. There are collections of his letters, his speeches, and his fireside chats. With Roosevelt, as with Lincoln, there are many angles of approach.

Franklin Delano Roosevelt Administration: Roosevelt Meets King Saud at Bitter Lake

During the 1940s, America’s Arab “allies” were angered by what they viewed as President Franklin Roosevelt’s pro-Zionist policies. The State Department held the naive belief that the king of Saudi Arabia and other Arab leaders could be persuaded to either support America’s pro-Zionist policies or at least minimize opposition to them.

In May 1943, Saudi King Ibn Saud first made his views clear on the subject after viewing with alarm the Roosevelt administration’s drift toward support for the establishment of a Jewish state. “Jews have no right to Palestine,” he wrote the president. “God forbid . . . the Allies should, at the end of their struggle, crown their victory by evicting the Arabs from their home.”[1]

A few weeks later he wrote another letter in which he insisted that Palestine “has been an Arab country since the dawn of history and . . . was never inhabited by Jews for more than a period of time, during which their history in the land was full of murder and cruelty. . . . [There is] reli
