About this product
Product Information
The Munitions Inquiry, often called the Nye Committee after its chairperson, Senator Gerald Nye, critically examined the pre-World War II military-industrial complex of government agencies, corporations, labor unions, and financial institutions. Cold War-era historians typically presented the inquiry as a naive isolationist search for evil arms dealers who caused wars. Going beyond the concept of the Merchants of Death theory and into the social, intellectual, political, and cultural currents of the 1930s, Coulter expands the dimensions of a topic formerly framed within the narrow confines of isolationism and internationalism. In addition, he shows how the committee's 19th-century values and progressive idealism were unsuited to an era dominated by Hitler and Mussolini. In divesting the Munitions Inquiry of its image as an historical oddity, this book recovers a piece of American history that had been a casualty of World War II and the Cold War.

Reviews
"The author succeeds in demonstrating that the inquiry conducted by the Nye committee "did not belong to Senator Nye" and that the committee was, with occasional lapses, more sophisticated in its assessment of the economy than any simple "merchants-of-death" theory. He makes an arresting reevaluation in down playing the committee's connection to isolationist sentiment, which he regards as less fundamental than its "idealistic" sociocultural credo. Coulter's careful, chronological account of the group's deliberations - including its relationship to the politics of the Roosevelt years - and his thoughtful analysis of the hearings and report enhance our understanding." The Journal of American History

Super impressed with this seller! They had the best price by far for this book! Both the cost of the book and the shipping fee was far better than average! The book came exactly as described, it was well packaged and quite a bit earlier than expected! The seller was polite and replied quickly to my messages.
I’ll definitely make another purchase soon!
Thank you to the seller! Be safe and keep up the great work!
