One of the important biographies of President Franklin D. Roosevelt, is titled Roosvelt: The Lion and the Fox. Roosevelt deceived the American public at the start of World War II, in September and October 1941, misstating facts about two instances involving German submarines and American destroyers (claiming that the destroyer Greer, which was attacked by a German submarine, was on an innoscent mission when in fact it was tracking the sub for the British navy).  A historian sympathetic to him wrote, “Franklin Roosevelt repeatedly deceived the American people during the period before Pearl Harbor …. He was like the physician who must tell the patient lies for the patient’s own good.”
