An American First: John T. Flynn and the America First Committee

By Michele Flynn Stenehjem

Arlington House, 1976, 250 pp.

A sympathetic study of the New York branch of the noninterventionist America First Committee (1940-41) under the leadership of John T. Flynn. The author emphasizes the cogency of the group's criticism of excessive presidential power in foreign affairs and the smear tactics often employed in rebuttal.
