AMERICA FIRST Roosevelt vs. Lindbergh in the Shadow of War

Mark Bramhall gives a solid narration of the disagreement between President Franklin Roosevelt and aviator Charles Lindbergh regarding the global role of the U.S. in the period leading up to WWII. Roosevelt was not above breaking American laws of neutrality to get U.S. support to Britain. Lindbergh, the renowned aviator, continued the non-interventionist hopes of his father, a former Congressman who had been against WWI. Charles became the voice for millions who wanted to keep the U.S. out of European affairs to maintain tradition and avoid the needless shedding of American blood. Eighty years later, the U.S. is still in Western Europe. Bramhall's voice is steady in delivery and appropriately expressive throughout this production.
