The Guardians
Let's all congratulate the Journal of American History for sending out this book for review in the first place. Pedersen's subject is the tensions engendered by the fading legitimacy of empire for European conceptions of “the international,” and her U.S.-based historical actors are bit players at best. It is, of course, unsurprising and appropriate that the U.S. role is always slightly offstage in a book about the League of Nations mandates syste…
Michael Barnett. Empire of Humanity
Michael Barnett adds a strong voice to a growing chorus of historically informed social scientists who skillfully use archives and comfortably traverse the usually too-rigid boundaries that define the disciplines of history, political science, and sociology. His welcome contribution is a testament to the power of well-deployed evidence and narrative to combine in a compelling analysis, whatever one's formally designated field of inquiry. He terms…

“God knows,” lamented the physicist Isidor Rabi, “I'm not the simplest person, but compared to Oppenheimer, I'm very, very simple.” J. Robert Oppenheimer played myriad roles in the science and politics of modern America: as a physicist working to establish a synthetic American school uniting theoretical and experimental approaches; as a government functionary and “weaponeer” piloting the development and fine-tuning the deployment of the first ato…
FDR's Four Freedoms as a Human Rights Instrument
Do ideas ever change history? In January 1941, as the German Luftwaffe bombed London, President Franklin Roosevelt delivered his annual State of the Union Address to Congress. He used the speech to sketch a vision of justice and fairness that contrasted starkly with Adolf Hitler's totalitarian ideology. He asserted that “four essential human freedoms” should apply “everywhere in the world”: Freedom of speech and religion, and, most radically, fre…
A New Deal for the Nuremberg Trial
This article distills several arguments from a larger book project, framed as an international history of the idea of crimes against humanity, with the 1945–46 Nuremberg trial serving as a fulcrum. The project as a whole first traces the origins of the idea of a “crime against humanity,” before this concept was crystallized in the Nuremberg charter; followed by a large central section on the unfolding of the Nuremberg trials themselves; with a co…
A New Deal for the World
A New Deal for the World
In a work of sweeping scope and luminous detail, Elizabeth Borgwardt describes how a cadre of World War II American planners inaugurated the ideas and institutions that underlie our modern international human rights regime. Borgwardt finds the key in the 1941 Atlantic Charter and its Anglo-American vision of 'war and peace aims.' In attempting to globalise what U.S. planners heralded as domestic New Deal ideas about security, the ideology of the …
