内容説明

In September 1944, Churchill and Roosevelt met for a second time in Quebec City, the only city outside of Washington where Churchill and Roosevelt met more than once. This meeting would prove to be their last major bilateral one in the series of conferences that had begun three years earlier in Placentia Bay, off the coast of Newfoundland. That first meeting produced the Atlantic Charter, the set of guiding principles intended to govern international relations with the coming of peace. Now, with the end of the war in Europe in sight, it was time for the two men to reflect on how the ideas of the Charter might be applied in practice. It was also time to begin the serious business of mapping out strategy for the final defeat of Japan. This work is a collection of essays which results from an international conference of American, British, and Canadian scholars organized by McGill University, the Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt Institute and the FDR Library to mark the 50th anniversary of the second Quebec conference. The essays examine the critical state of Allied relations in the autumn of 1944, when the possibility that the war in Europe might soon end produced unexpected strains in the transatlantic Alliance. In addition, the important, though often overlooked, Canadian contribution to the war is discussed.
