Been reading Lynn Olson's "Those Angry Days" on the fight over the U.S. entering WWII. It's good, well written and an interesting subject which she handles reasonably objectively.
One factoid which reminds me both how different the past was, and how similar. A movie [Pastor Hall]was banned in Chicago (remember the days when movies were banned?) because of a Chicago law which prohibited the denigration of any race or ethnicity and the local board thought it was anti-German in its depiction of the treatment of the Jews.
[Updated to add link to movie title, which was based on Rev. Martin Niemuller.]
