Step back to the turning point of the 20th century with America Looks Abroad, a vital 15-minute radio series that aired from January 1940 into 1941. As the Nazis swept across Europe and the world edged toward global conflict, the Foreign Policy Association (FPA) partnered with NBC to help everyday Americans make sense of the volatile and fast-changing diplomatic landscape. With 47 recordings spanning nearly 11 hours and 32 minutes, this collection captures news analysis and commentary from the late 1930s and early 1940s, offering an authentic glimpse into how the nation grappled with issues of neutrality, war, and America's role abroad. Each episode ended with a memorable tagline: "Foreign affairs are your affairs."
