James D. Hornfischer Quote
For reasons of electoral calculation—to preserve his Democratic majorities in a congressional midterm election—Roosevelt wanted American troops fighting Germans before the end of the year. We failed to see, Marshall would write, that the leader in a democracy has to keep the people entertained. The people demand action.
