Excerpt from Getting Us Into War
The making of this book has been the part-time avocation of a man past the university retirement age, who finds twenty-four hours a day, seven days in a week, too brief a time to carry on his regular work of publishing, maintaining an advisory service for schools, and helping to solve the educational problems of over a thousand families yearly. The reading and the research have been done chiefly when honest men were in bed and others in night clubs. The compilation was dictated in snatches in intervals of a busy day, fitted to the limits of a stencil and mailed out still moist.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a critical examination of the events leading up to America's involvement in World War II. Challenging the notion of objective history, the author delves into the complex web of political motivations, economic interests, and propaganda that shaped public opinion and influenced policy decisions. Set against the backdrop of a world grappling with the rise of fascism and communism, the book explores the anxieties and fears that drove appeasement policies and the intricate strategies employed to sway a war-weary American public towards intervention. The author dissects the roles played by key figures, organizations, and media outlets in manipulating public sentiment and manufacturing consent for war. Through a meticulous analysis of primary sources, including news clippings, public speeches, and government documents, the book sheds light on the hidden agendas and often self-serving motives of those who championed intervention. Ultimately, this book serves as a stark reminder of the power of propaganda and the importance of critical thinking in navigating the complexities of international relations and the ever-present threat of war.
