In Arsenal of Democracy , historian and public intellectual Julian
Zelizer shows how internal politics have influenced American
foreign policy since the Cold War. Rejecting the notion that, prior
to the presidency of George W. Bush, politics stopped at the
water's edge," Zelizer exposes the partisan fighting that shaped
the foreign policies of presidents from FDR to Kennedy to Reagan,
revealing the extent to which the GOP and Democratic party have
alternately sought to define themselves as the party of war and the
party of peace as the political mood shifted. Republicans, he
shows, have not always been hawks during World War II, it was the
Democratic party that took the lead not only in entering war, but
in ensuring that the national security apparatus that emerged would
remain a fixture of the American political landscape even after the
war was over. A definitive account of the complex interaction
between domestic politics and foreign affairs over the last six
decades, Arsenal of Democracy is essential reading for anyone
interested in the politics of national security.
