These include the tensions between the isolationists and those who wanted to become involved in the war, for example, and the chapter concerning the battle for the hearts and minds of the American people illustrate how deeply the war divided American society. The war itself raised other issues, such as how the war was to be fought; how the domestic battle against suppression and dissent would be fought; and perhaps most importantly; what the eventual move away from isolationism would entail, and the role America would have in the post-war world. In doing so, he also addresses, more broadly, the changes such involvement brought to American society, in particular, the expansion of government apparatus during the war, and the attempts of the government to persuade the American people of the righteousness of American involvement in the affairs of the ‘Old World’. Over Here also offers an excellent study of the progressive strand in American politics, the debates between progressives regarding American involvement in the war, and how it gave way after 1918 to the Red Scare and also the nativist drive for ‘One Hundred Per Cent

In the Muslim world, as in others, religion, politics, and culture are intertwined in complicated ways. The purpose of this study is to examine the dynamics that are driving changes in the religio-political landscape of the Muslim world. Our goal is to provide policymakers and the broader academic and policy community with a general overview of events and trends in the Muslim world that are most likely to affect U.S. interests and security.

The world’s Muslims differ substantially not only in their religious views but also in their political and social orientation, including their conceptions of government, law, and human rights; their social agenda (in particular, women’s rights and the content of education); and their propensity for violence.
