America First: Roosevelt vs. Lindbergh in the Shadow of War

This book covers two sides to the issue of whether the United States should be an isolationist versus globally involved country in the years prior to World War II. Lindbergh, along with the America First organization, led the charge that America should be militarily strong, but refrain being involved in the conflict in Europe. Roosevelt countered with a steadily progressing movement towards supporting countries fighting the Nazis in order to prevent a future war involving America. Both sides did not trust the other and firmly believed in their positions. Roosevelt won in numerous legislative and elective confrontations. The bombing of Pearl Harbor quickly brought a halt to the divergent points of view and united the country. This book was well researched and written as have several other of this books that I have read. I recommend this book for anyone who has an interest in the divergent views in this country prior to the attack on Pearl Harbor.
