Abstract: Let $nge3$ be an odd natural number. In 1738, Abraham de Moivre introduced a family of polynomials of degree $n$ with rational coefficients, all of which are solvable. So far, the Galois groups of these polynomials have been investigated only for prime numbers $n$ and under special assumptions. We describe the Galois groups for arbitrary odd $nge3$ in the irreducible case, up to few exceptions. In addition, we express all zeros of such a polynomial as rational functions of three zeros, two of which are connected in a certain sense. These results are based on the reduction of the radical ${\displaystyle }$ sqrt[n]{d+sqrt R}, ${\displaystyle }$ whose degree is $2n$ in general, to irrationals of degree $len$. Such a reduction was given in a previous paper of the author. Here, however, we present a much simpler approach that is based on properties of Chebyshev polynomials.
