Susan Butler is a non-fiction writer. Her book Roosevelt and Stalin, Portrait of a Partnership (2015) was the first to fully explore the complex partnership between FDR and Stalin during World War II. My Dear Mr. Stalin: The Complete Correspondence of Franklin D. Roosevelt and Joseph V. Stalin (Yale University Press, 2005) has been extensively reviewed in London, where it has provoked a firestorm of criticism because the messages between Roosevelt and Stalin by their nature and subject reveal Churchill’s role as of secondary strategic importance in the progress of the war. Butler’s book East to Dawn: The Life of Amelia Earhart (1997) became a bestseller. Butler has been a freelance writer whose work regularly appeared in The New York Times and Barron’s. Her interest in journalism dates back to her college years at Bennington where she was the editor of the newspaper. She later went on to Columbia University, where she earned an M.A. from the School of Arts and Sciences. She lives in Lake Wales, Florida.
