The Munitions Inquiry, often called the Nye Committee after its
chairperson, Senator Gerald Nye, critically examined the pre-World
War II military-industrial complex of government agencies,
corporations, labor unions, and financial institutions. Cold
War-era historians typically presented the inquiry as a naive
isolationist search for evil arms dealers who caused wars. Going
beyond the concept of the Merchants of Death theory and into the
social, intellectual, political, and cultural currents of the
1930s, Coulter expands the dimensions of a topic formerly framed
within the narrow confines of isolationism and internationalism. In
addition, he shows how the committee's 19th-century values and
progressive idealism were unsuited to an era dominated by Hitler
and Mussolini. In divesting the Munitions Inquiry of its image as
an historical oddity, this book recovers a piece of American
history that had been a casualty of World War II and the Cold War.
