While the dominant historical assessment of isolationism - that it was \"provincial\" and \"short-sighted\" - will be examined, this book argues that American isolationism between 1919 and the mid-1930s was a rational foreign policy simply because the European reversion back to politics as usual insured that the continent would remain unstable. Drawing on a wide range of newspaper and journal articles, biographies, congressional hearings, personal papers, and numerous secondary sources, Kenneth D. Rose suggests the time has come for a paradigm shift in how American isolationism is viewed. The text also offers a reflection on isolationism since the end of World War II, particularly the nature of isolationism during the Trump era. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book will be of interest to students and scholars of U.S. Foreign Relations and twentieth-century American history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kenneth D.
