As war approached, the internationalist movement attempted to arouse the nation in order to defeat noninterventionism at home and fascism overseas. Johnstone's examination of this movement undermines the common belief that the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor wrenched an isolationist United States into global armed conflict and the struggle for international power.Johnstone focuses on three organizations-the American Committee for Non-Participation in Japanese Aggression, the Committee to Defend America by Aiding the Allies, and Fight For Freedom-that actively promoted a more global role for the United States based on a conception of the "four freedoms" later made famous by FDR. The desire to be free from fear was seen in concerns regarding America's immediate national security. The desire to be free from want was expressed in anxieties over the nation's future economic prosperity. The need for freedom of speech was represented in concerns over the potential loss of political freedoms. Finally, the need for freedom of worship was seen in the emphasis on religious freedoms and broader fears about the future of Western civilization. These groups and their supporters among the public and within the government characterized the growing global conflict as one between two distinct worlds and in doing so, set the tone of American foreign policy for decades to come. 606 $aInternationalism$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aNeutrality$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aPublic opinion$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 607 $aUnited States$xForeign relations$y1933-1945$xPublic opinion 615 0$aInternationalism$xHistory 615 0$aNeutrality$xHistory 615 0$aPublic opinion$xHistory 676 $a327.73009/04 700 $aJohnstone$b Andrew$g(Andrew E.),$0472413 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910820751603321 996 $aAgainst immediate evil$93979169 997 $aUNINA
