Nicholas Wapshott follows Keynes Hayek with a lively narrative of
one of the great political duels of the twentieth century: the
high-stakes maneuvering among Franklin Roosevelt, Joe Kennedy, and
the isolationist movement before America s entry into World War II.
FDR sidelined his friend and aspiring political rival Kennedy by
appointing him ambassador to London. He coaxed Charles Lindbergh
into uniform to control the content of his speeches. Roosevelt s
cryptic and varied strategies contained and ultimately neutralized
the most powerful voices encouraging American skepticism about a
European war. Leading his country into that war would define FDR s
legacy.
Set against the backdrop of the 1940 election, The Sphinx
testifies to FDR s political mastery while placing both sides of
the debate over isolationism in context, provoking arguments about
whether the neo-isolationists of today are any more right than
Kennedy and his allies were in their time."
