H. W. Brands In Conversation about America First
It was 1939. Hitler had just invaded Poland, and Europe was in shambles with how to react. An ocean away, Americans also fiercely debated their response to global catastrophe as Hitler advanced across the continent. Bestselling author H.W. Brands, along with historian and UT-Austin professor Jeremi Suri, will discuss Brands' latest book America First: Roosevelt vs. Lindbergh in the Shadow of War. America First narrates rivaling interventionist and isolationist thought at the time through the perspectives of legendary figures President Franklin D. Roosevelt and war hero pilot Charles Lindbergh. In his gripping narrative, Brands sheds light on a crucial tipping point in American history and depicts the making of a legendary president.
