دانلود کتاب Charles A. Lindbergh and the Battle Against American Intervention in World War II

From the preface:

Easily the most popular and controversial "isolationist," "noninterventionist," leader was the famed aviator Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh. From September, 1939, when he began speaking out against American entry into World War II, until he was silenced by the Japanese attack more than two years later, Lindbergh was the most praised, the most criticized, and the most maligned noninterventionist in the United States. No one played a more prominent role in opposing the foreign policies of the Franklin D. Roosevelt administration. A study of Lindbergh's battle against American entry into World War II goes to the heart of that noninterventionist effort. His defeat was the defeat of American isolationism.

Though Lindbergh's battle against intervention ended with Pearl Harbor, many of his ideas looked ahead to issues of more recent times. His emphasis on the importance and limits of power in international affairs was consistent with the "realist" approach so popular after World War II. His contention that the United States could not and should not remake the world in its own image has a decidedly contemporary ring to it. His warnings against excessive presidential power, secrecy, and deception in foreign affairs have striking parallels with American concerns a generation later. The abuse he suffered at the hands of his opponents, moreover, illustrated the heavy toll that can be exacted from those who exercise their democratic rights and responsibilities by opposing administration foreign policies that they believe to be unwise.
