American Isolationists
Rowman & Littlefield (Verlag)
978-1-5381-7117-2 (ISBN)
In this first full study of pro-Japan isolationists, Roger B. Jeans provides a detailed history of the committee, which was launched in September 1941, a scant ten weeks before the beginning of the war. Its driving force was Missourian Orland Kay “O. K.” Armstrong, who traveled widely during the late 1930s and early 1940s recruiting prominent Americans for his movement against war with Japan. He and his colleagues were often critical of US policies and of China, the victim of Japanese aggression. As a result, they were often ostracized as pro-Japanese. Jeans draws on previously untapped sources—the personal letters of committee members and the dossiers the FBI compiled on them—to paint a rich picture of this little-known group.
Roger B. Jeans Jr. is Elizabeth Lewis Otey Professor of History Emeritus at Washington and Lee University. His books include The Letters and Diaries of Colonel John Hart Caughey, 1944–1945: With Wedemeyer in World War II China; The CIA and Third Force Movements in China during the Early Cold War: The Great American Dream; andTerasaki Hidenari, Pearl Harbor, and Occupied Japan.
