Dilemmas of Internationalism is a new political history of the 1940s which charts and analyses the efforts of private internationalist to define US internationalism and promote the establishment of the United Nations. Internationalists hoped that the United States would shake off the fear of entangling alliances that had characterised the nation's history replacing isolationism and unilateralism with a new involved and multilateral approach to foreign affairs. During and after World War II a number of private individuals and organisations were at the forefront of the fight to change the nature of US foreign policy. This book focuses in particular on the most important internationalist organisation: the American Association for the United Nations (AAUN) known as the League of Nations Association through 1944. It situates the AAUN in the vast network of private organisations promoting an internationalist foreign policy during and after World War II and analyses the connections between the AAUN and the US government and key public figures who proposed a more internationalist foreign policy.
