Against Immediate Evil
In Against Immediate Evil, Andrew Johnstone tells the story of how internationalist Americans worked between 1938 and 1941 to convince the U.S. government and the American public of the need to stem the rising global tide of fascist aggression. As war approached, the internationalist movement attempted to arouse the nation in order to defeat noninterventionism at home and fascism overseas. Johnstone's examination of this movement undermines the common belief that the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor wrenched an isolationist United States into global armed conflict and the struggle for international power.Johnstone focuses on three organizations—the American Committee for Non-Participation i...
Dilemmas of Internationalism
Dilemmas of Internationalism is a new political history of the 1940s which charts and analyses the efforts of private internationalists to define US internationalism and promote the establishment of the United Nations.

How the Neolithics Influenced Rock 'n' Roll
This book sets out to explore the connections between megalithic monuments and Rock 'n' Roll music by first addressing what the megalithic structures would have originally meant to the builders and users of these sites and at the statements they were making at that time. It then looks at how Rock 'n' Roll artists have incorporated images of these monuments into album cover designs by looking at specific examples, in an attempt to understand why, despite being separated by millennia from the original builders, they chose to use such places to represent the statements they are making through their music in the late 20th and early 21st centuries.
