ABSTRACT

Armstrong, John P. “The Enigma of Senator Taft and American Foreign2206. Policy.” Review of Politics 17:2 (1955): 206-231.

Examines some of Taft’s foreign policy views as expressed in his public statements and concludes that most of what he said was “political nonsense.” Considerable attention is given to Taft and the Korean War, and the author concludes there was little, if any, consistency in his position. A significant study, since Taft was the leading Republican spokesman.
