The Reluctant Belligerent: American Entry Into World War IIWiley, 1979 - 179 pages "Did America's passive foreign policy in the 1930s contribute to the onset of the Second World War? Would early and sustained American support have contained the expansive thrust of the Axis? Was the nation's security jeopardized by lack of leadership? These are just some of the thought-provoking questions explored in the new edition of this detailed examination of American entry into World War II."--Page 4 of cover. |
