The Forgotten History of the Antiwar Right

by | Apr 18, 2011 | News | 9 comments

Reason TV features an interview with Brian Doherty about the forgotten history of the antiwar right. The interview is conducted by Zach Weissmueller.

Tracing its roots back to the American Anti-Imperialist League of the late 1890s, Doherty discusses the evolution of right-wing non-interventionism through the 1930s and into the Cold War of the 1950s, which ultimately led to a lasting rift between conservatives and libertarians. He also addresses the possibility of a resurgent conservative antiwar sentiment in the Obama era.
