Bringing together over 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.Jeremi Suri is the E. Gordon Fox Professor of History at the University of Wisconsin Madison. He is the author of Henry Kissinger and the American Century (2007), The Global Revolutions of 1968 (2006), and Power and Protest: Global Revolution and the Rise of Détente (2003).
