In The Time Of The Americans: FDR, Truman, Eisenhower, Marshall, MacArthur-The Generation That Changed America 's Role in the World - Softcover
Coming of age during World War I and attaining their finest hour in World War II and the Cold War, these men -- FDR, Truman, Eisenhower, Marshall, MacArthur -- transformed America from an isolated frontier nation into a global superpower. As he tells their stories, Fromkin, author of A Peace to End All Peace, shows how this generation not only made America great but largely succeeded in making it a force for good.

About the Author:
David Fromkin is University Professor and Professor of History at Boston University. He is the author of In the Time of the Americans, a History Book Club selection, and the national best-seller A Peace to End All Peace, which was a finalist for both the National Book Critics Circle Award and the Pulitzer Prize and was singled out by the New York Times Book Review as one of the thirteen “Best Books of the Year” in 1989. He lives in New York City.
From Booklist:
Fromkin's best-selling A Peace to End All Peace (1989) described "the final achievement of European imperialism" in the Middle East. This new study focuses on a "coherent generation" --the subtitle's presidents and generals, plus some U.S. politicians, statesmen, and journalists--that "defined America's role in the international politics of the twentieth century." It is a well-written and entertaining study, but profoundly conventional history. It takes Fromkin pages to note that the turn-of-the-century Americans he describes as innocent, pacifist, isolationist, and anti-imperialist did "bellicose" things to "Indians and others" who stood in their way. Five pages after he points out that Haym Solomon (an ancestor of William C. Bullitt) helped to finance the American Revolution, Fromkin describes the U.S. as "entirely Christian" until 1890. And his "generation" is, of course, composed entirely of white men. Readers who idolize this generation of U.S. internationalists--as so many of them venerated TR and Woodrow Wilson--will certainly want to read this book, but librarians will want to remember that Fromkin tells only part of the story.
