The Myth of the Good War: America in the Second World War - Pauwels, Jacques R.

As New; Historian Jacques Pauwels attacks the widely held belief that the Second World War was the "good war," the war in which america led the forces of democracy and freedom to victory over fascist dictatorship and Japanese militarism. He argues that the role of the U.S. was determined not by idealism but by the interests of America's corporations and by the country's social, economic, and political leaders. His analysis counter the many myths that have been fostered about why the U.S. decided to enter the war to fight alongside the U.K., Canada, and Russian against Nazi Germany.
