Roosevelt's declaration of war in 1941 has experienced a renaissance of sorts, as evidenced by the publication of a wealth of new studies. In light of this resurgence, \u003ci\u003eFrom Isolation to War: 1931–1941\u003c\/i\u003e has been thoroughly updated to incorporate much of this new research.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe fourth edition of this popular American history textbook includes all new material on the Washington Conference of 1921-22, American attitudes during the Spanish Civil War, Roosevelt's policies toward Jewish refugees, the Welles mission of 1940, and much more. Also new to this edition are nine biographical sketches of U.S. and world leaders, including FDR, Hoover, Churchill, Hitler, and Stalin. As the most up-to-date and comprehensive study of American diplomacy in the lead-up to World War II, the new edition of this landmark work will be embraced by teachers, students, and scholars alike.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"An excellent book has just got better. The text has been refreshed with insights drawn from the most recent scholarship, and biographical sketches of nine wartime leaders lend color and clarity to the account.
