Not to the Swift: The Old Isolationists in the Cold War Era

A study of the reaction of the isolationists to the major crises of the Cold War, starting in 1943 when opposition to the policy of unconditional surrender began to develop, and continuing down to 1954, the beginning of U.S. involvement in Indochina. Among the crises discussed are Yalta, the UN charter, the dropping of the atom bomb, the Nuremberg trials, the Atlantic Pact, and the initial involvement of the United States in Vietnam.
