Publisher's Synopsis
This book describes the foreign policy sentiments of Virginians during the pre-Pearl Harbor Roosevelt era and examines the forces that helped shape those sentiments. It discerns which political, ideological, cultural, and economic bases influenced the views of Virginians on four major foreign policy issues of that period: League of Nations and World Court membership, reciprocal trade, the Good Neighbor policy, and interventionism. The author has concentrated on the views of those politicians, churchmen, journalists, educators, businessmen, and labor leaders who helped shape and guide the state's foreign policy views.
