Write a paper compare, analyze, and interpret a World War II-era debate between Henry Luce and Vice President Henry Wallace about America’s future role in the world. Both of these texts are part of the reading assignment for week 10 on World War II:
Henry R. Luce, “The American Century” (1941), in Foner, Voices of Freedom, 191-194.
Henry A. Wallace, “The Century of the Common Man” (1942), in Foner, Voices of Freedom, 194-196.
Your task is to compare and contrast the sources, and formulate your own interpretation of the issues presented in this debate between the authors. You do not necessarily have to agree or disagree with one side or the either. A very good paper, for instance, will formulate an interpretation that shows how these debates fit into the broader global political context, not only about America’s relation to totalitarianism generally, but also of the changing role of the relationship between the United States and the Soviet Union, from being allies during World War II to enemies during the Cold War.
