Between 1939-1941, from the time that Germany invaded Poland until
Japan attacked Pearl Harbor, Americans engaged in a debate as
intense as any in U.S. history. In Storm on the Horizon, prominent
historian Justus D. Doenecke analyzes the personalities, leading
action groups, and major congressional debates surrounding the
decision to participate in World War II. Doenecke is the first
scholar to place the anti-interventionist movement in a wider
framework, by focusing on its underlying military, economic, and
geopolitical assumptions. Doenecke addresses key questions such as:
how did the anti-interventionists perceive the ideology, armed
potential, and territorial aspirations of Germany, the British
Empire, Japan, and the Soviet Union? To what degree did they
envision Nazi Germany as a bulwark against the Soviet Union? What
role would the U.S. play in a world increasingly composed of
competing economic blocs and military alliances? Storm on the
Horizon is certain to become the standard study of this tumultuous
time and will require readers to reevaluate their understanding of
the United States entry into World War II.
