World War I was supposed to be the "war to end all wars."  But 21 years after the armistice was signed ending the first world war, a second, even deadlier world war broke out.  In each case, Germany was the aggressor and, according to historian Michael Beschloss, President Franklin Roosevelt was determined to prevent Germany from starting a third world war.  Beschloss addressed the Commonwealth Club of California in December to talk about Presidents Roosevelt and Truman, and their influence on World War II.  Beschloss' new book is "The Conquerors: Roosevelt, Truman and the Destruction of Hitler's Germany".
