Title: Mixed messages
First published: 1999
Description: "The United States is on the verge of losing its vote in the UN General Assembly because it is $1.6 billion in arrears. There are eerie parallels between the domestic debate over the United Nations in 1999 and the struggles over the League of Nations in 1919. Why, many ask, are Americans the first to create international organizations and the first to abandon them?

What is it about the American political culture that breeds both the most ardent supporters and the most vocal detractors of international organization? And why can't they find any common ground?"--BOOK JACKET. "In seeking to uncover the roots of American ambivalence toward international organizations, this political history presents the first major analysis of U.S. attitudes toward both the United Nations and the League of Nations."--BOOK JACKET.
