To Save a Nation: American ”Extremism,” the New Deal, and the Coming of World War II

A brilliant study of the relationship between domestic politics and the shaping of foreign policy, showing how fascists, anti-Semites, and other right-wing extremists became unwitting allies of the Roosevelt administration in the debate over American entry into World War II. With a new epilogue by the author bringing up to date his discussion of American extremism.
