Broken up in chapters that discuss the different aspects of the Holocaust, Lipstadt’s book provides insight on the events of the holocaust and the general public’s response to these events.Through this book, we were able to examine the means by which Americans opinions formed concerning the Holocaust which consequently led to their late involvement or mediation of the events in Germany.

K’s Foreign Policy Sources: [name removed by request 7/6/07]

Schulzinger, Robert D.U.S. Diplomacy Since 1900.Oxford University Press, Inc.New York, 1998.(UCSB call# E744.S399.)

Schulzinger describes the american foreign policy from the turn of the century, through the First World War, the Isolationist Policy, the Second World War, through post-Cold War issues. The author remains detached and tries to focus on stating the facts of American foreign policy in order to examine it objectively.For my subject, I particularly utilized sources on American foreign policy from 1920-1941.Reasons are stated and the aftermath of World War I is discussed, as well as the Isolationist Policy of the 1930’s.The events leading directly up to World War II and American’s entrance into the war are also portrayed.
