Description: A concise history of American foreign policy from the Great Depression to the eve of World War II
Review Quotes: "This compact volume efficiently debunks the myth of American isolationism while demonstrating that it was Franklin D. Roosevelt, not his successors, who first persuaded the nation to take on a truly global role. With its succinct narrative of the key events and policy decisions of the inter-war period and its useful selection of documents, this book is an ideal choice for college courses on U.S. foreign relations."--Max Paul Friedman, professor of history at American University and author of Nazis and Good Neighbors: The United States Campaign Against the Germans of Latin American in World War II
