The author analyzes how President Roosevelt, becoming formally an ally of Stalin from December 1941, scrupulously fulfilled his obligations to him. Although he had no illusions about the essence of the Stalinist dictatorship, he believed that it was less dangerous than the Hitler dictatorship because it did not assume the conquest of the world with military force. Roosevelt was not bothered by the dilemma of what price he was paying for the alliance with the Kremlin. Roosevelt did not react when Stalin blamed the Germans for the Katyn massacre or discredited the Polish government in exile, breaking off diplomatic relations with it and accusing it of collaborating with the fascists, or when he refused Washington the use of airfields in Ukraine during the Warsaw Uprising.

The book "Unlikely Allies" is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of World War II, international relations, and the behind-the-scenes of politics.
