Order, planning, and reason-in the depths of the Great Depression, with the nation teetering on the brink of collapse, this was what was needed. And this, Kenneth J.

Right Turn John T. Flynn and the Transformation of American Liberalism


Free Download Right Turn: John T. Flynn and the Transformation of American Liberalism By John E. Moser
2005 | 277 Pages | ISBN: 0814757006 | PDF | 1 MB
John T. Flynn, a prolific writer, columnist for the New Republic, Harper’s Magazine, and Collier’s Weekly, radio commentator, and political activist, was described by the New York Times in 1964 as "a man of wide-ranging contradictions." In this new biography of Flynn, John E. Moser fleshes out his many contradictions and profound influence on U.S. history and political discourse.In the 1930s, Flynn advocated extensive regulation of the economy, the breakup of holding companies, and heavy taxes on the wealthy. A mere fifteen years later he was denouncing the New Deal as "creeping socialism," calling for an abolition of the income tax, and hailing Senator Joseph McCarthy and his fellow anticommunists as saviors of the American Republic. Yet throughout his career he insisted that he had remained true to the principles of liberalism as he understood them.It was America’s political culture that changed, he argued, and not his values and views. Drawing on Flynn’s life and his prolific writings, Moser illuminates how liberalism in America changed during the mid-twentieth century and considers whether Flynn’s ideological odyssey was the product of opportunism, or the result of a set of deep-seated principles that he championed consistently over the years. In addition, Right Turn examines Flynn’s role in laying the foundations for the "culture war" that would be played out in American society for the rest of the century, helping to define modern American conservatism.

English | ISBN: 0813180449 | 2021 | 304 pages | EPUB | 2 MB
In The Sailor, David F. Schmitz presents a comprehensive reassessment of Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s foreign policymaking. Most historians have cast FDR as a leader who resisted an established international strategy and who was forced to react quickly after the attack on Pearl Harbor, launching the nation into World War II. Drawing on a wealth of primary documents as well as the latest secondary sources, Schmitz challenges this view, demonstrating that Roosevelt was both consistent and calculating in guiding the direction of American foreign policy throughout his presidency.
