Some facts that should be more widely known by William Gillespie
American Mercury, Spring 1976
THE ROLE of the United States in the Second World War was undoubtedly the most important
factor in the eventual victory of the Allies over the Axis powers. Direct American entry into the war is placed on the attack on Pearl Harbor (December 7, 1941) but there are more important and controversial interventionist forces which must be discussed if the truth is to be known.
Charles Lindbergh, in his memoirs, states that the “war forces” in America included: “the American
government, the British government, the Jews and the major portion of the press, radio, and motion-picture facilities of the country.”
An examination of the forces which prompted Franklin D. Roosevelt into taking a hawkish attitude towards the Axis Powers will reveal that he clearly placed the isolationist interests of his people after that of the British (principally Churchill), the hawkish press, the Jews, and other interventionist forces.
