      abstract = {"This book tracks the tortuous negotiations between  Washington and London, with FDR juggling strong domestic  isolationist sentiment and the mandates of third-term  politics before making a deal in which the British allowed  the U.S. use of certain sea bases in exchange for 50  destroyers. Shogan argues that a pernicious precedent was  set, enabling chief executives to override constitutional  guidelines under the pretense of protecting national  security. Urging total disclosure, increased candor and  full accountability, Shogan contends that our presidents  can cause harm with foreign policy prevarications"--Adapted  from a book review in Publisher's weekly.},
