Brands narrates the fierce debate over America's role in the world in the runup to World War II through its two most important figures: President Franklin D.

With fascism rampant abroad, should America take responsibility for its defeat? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFor popular hero Charles Lindbergh, saying no to another world war only twenty years after the first was the obvious answer. Lindbergh had become famous and adored around the world after his historic first flight over the Atlantic in 1927. In the years since, he had emerged as a vocal critic of American involvement overseas, rallying Americans against foreign war as the leading spokesman the America First Committee. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhile Hitler advanced across Europe and threatened the British Isles, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt struggled to turn the tide of public opinion. With great effort, political shrewdness and outright deception--aided by secret British disinformation efforts in America--FDR readied the country for war. He pushed the US onto the world stage where it has stayed ever since. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn this gripping narrative, H.W. Brands sheds light on a crucial tipping point in American history and depicts the making of a legendary president.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eH. W.
