Link (read 4 July 1980) (Bancroft Prize in 1961) I cannot help but marvel over how reading a book puts one into another world. I found the third volume of Link's biography of Woodrow Wilson really intriguing. In light of all the reading I have done on World War One, I really have not done that much on the war as it affected the U.S. and this book and the volumes on Wilson are very logical ones for me to read to remedy that. This third volume only takes one up to the fall of 1915. Most of the book recounts the problems with German submarines, but there are chapters on Mexico, and an eye-opening chapter on Haiti and the Dominican Republic. Our procedure in Haiti under Wilson makes some of Russia's domination of satellites appear almost subtle. The study of the Lusitania and the other incidents is really intriguing. I was amazed how easy it was to shock that unbrutalized age. I suppose I am not much of an international lawyer, but it is hard for me to be shocked by German sinking of British vessels, regardless of who is on them. I suppose the concept of total war was relatively new in 1915, and this accounts for the U.S. reaction at the time. This is a very good account, even though it relies so much on contemporary (1915) stuff. ( ) keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

Critics have called the two prior volumes in this life of Woodrow Wilson "a model of political biography" (Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr.), and "a capital piece of work, critical and judicious" (Henry Steele Commager). In this third volume Arthur Link covers the period between the immediate background of World War I and the not, to Great Britain of October 21, 1915, marking the end of Wilson's fight to lay solid foundations for American neutrality. Volume 3 also adds new material on American involvement in Mexico, the Caribbean and the Far East. A less stern picture of Wilson emerges-the picture of man struggling patiently and cautiously to avoid entanglement in the European war, work out a reasonable adjustment to British sea power, and meet the German challenge of submarine warfare in a mod rate restrained manner.Originally published in 1960.The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press.
