After World War II, the right continued to search for internal subversion. Having previously flayed Roosevelt for trying to stop Nazism, conservatives now complained that he had been too soft on Communist traitors. But as Schlesinger showed in a 1952 article in The Atlantic titled "The New Isolationism," figures like Senators Robert Taft and Joseph McCarthy were really trying to camouflage their lack of enthusiasm for military intervention abroad by endorsing witch hunts at home. Probably no historical account can match the skill with which Philip Roth evokes this isolationist witches' brew in "The Plot Against America." But as Olson and Dunn valuably remind us, Roosevelt got it right. Had he wavered, events could have turned out very differently. No less than Churchill, Roosevelt saved Western civilization from the greatest menace it has ever known.
"二战"之后，右翼继续寻找在国内搞破坏的机会。保守派之前批评罗斯福努力阻扰纳粹，现在抱怨他对共产党叛徒太过仁慈。但是就像施莱辛格1952年在《大西洋月刊》上发表的文章《新孤立主义》（The New Isolationism）阐释的那样，类似参议员罗伯特·塔夫托（Robert Taft）和约瑟夫·麦卡锡（Joseph McCarthy）这样的人物其实是在通过支持国内的政治迫害来掩饰自己对国外军事干涉所缺乏的热情。很可能，什么历史描述都赶不上菲利普·罗斯在《反美阴谋》中对孤立主义这种毒药的描述。但是奥尔森和邓恩可贵地提醒我们：罗斯福做对了。假如他当时犹豫了，结果会大不一样。罗斯福拯救了西方文明，使它抵挡住了前所未有的重大威胁，他做出的贡献不比丘吉尔少。
