The period between Hitler's invasion of Poland and the attack on Pearl Harbor was the turning point of the twentieth century. While the American public and Congress were eager to isolate themselves from the conflict, President Franklin D. Roosevelt wanted to bring their considerable might to the aid of the Allies.

He turned to five unlikely men, only one of whom had any diplomatic background, and sent them on a series of remarkable journeys. Taken together, their missions plot the arc of America's transformation from a reluctant middle power into a global leader. Drawing on archival research, Fullilove has given these men back to history.
