Woodrow Wilson and the American diplomatic tradition : the treaty fight in perspective

Woodrow Wilson's contributions to the creation of the League of Nations as well as his failures in the Senate battles over the Versailles treaty are stressed in this account of his leadership in international affairs. This book offers an ambitious reinterpretation of the U.S. Senate's rejection of the Versailles treaty, the first of the 'great debates' over the role of the United States in world politics. Woodrow Wilson's quest for orderly progress epitomized the modern American search for control. Lloyd E. Ambrosius. Includes Index. Bibliography: P. 299-313.
