ABSTRACT

Some idea of the broad range of isolationist sentiment can be gained by examining isolationists as individuals. There was Fritz Kuhn, leader of the German-American Bund, radio priset Charles E. Coughlin, newspaper baron William Randolph Hearst, liberal pacifist Oswald Villard, and writer Anne Morrow Lindbergh. The most effective isolationist of all was aviator Charles Lindbergh, who elevated the America First Committee into the largest isolationist group in the country.
