Bringing together more than 50 primary documents from the period, this volume offers a revealing picture of how Americans have interacted with the wider world since 1898. The documents capture the complexity of the issues at stake and give readers a first-hand look at the personalities, arguments, and events that shaped conflict and cooperation.
Editor Jeremi Suri provides a clear and accessible framework for studying the period with a preliminary essay that introduces the reader to the key issues and debates, informative document headnotes which contextualize the materials, discussion questions, and a bibliography for further study. Discussing US foreign policy not only in terms of leaders and states but also in terms of social movements, cultural ideas, and images, this is a comprehensive examination of a subject which continues to play an important part in US history.
