.Historical debatecontinues unabated, therefore, on many of the key issues that arose duringthis crucial era.While there has been less writing on this period than on the post-1945years, readers looking for a broad overview of U.S.foreign policy fromWorld War I to World War II have a good range of choices.For a realistapproach, George Kennan, American Diplomacy 1900 1950, is an acknowl-edged classic.By contrast, William Appleman Williams, The Tragedy ofAmerican Diplomacy, offers a radically revisionist perspective.LloydGardner, American Foreign Policy: Present to Past, gives a more measuredrevisionist analysis.For more depth on the key themes of the 1914 45 pe-riod, see Selig Adler, Uncertain Giant: American Foreign Policy betweenthe Wars, and Akira Iriye s volume of the Cambridge History of AmericanForeign Relations, The Globalizing of America.A good introduction to thevarious historiographical approaches to the issues of this era can be foundin Michael Hogan, ed., Paths to Power: The Historiography of American BIBLIOGRAPHY " 415Foreign Relations to 1941, while two useful essays questioning traditionalinterpretations of key periods in U.S.foreign policy (1900 21 and 1920 42)can be found in Barton Bernstein, ed., Towards a New Past: Dissenting Es-says in American History.Justus Doenecke has written widely and insight-fully on peace movements and noninterventionism and provides an excellentsurvey of the literature in Anti-intervention: A Bibliographical Introductionto Isolationism and Pacifism from World War I to the Early Cold War.The historiography of the diplomacy of the Woodrow Wilson presidency(1913 21) is dominated by two issues: the entry into World War I, and thenegotiation of and subsequent failure to ratify the 1919 Treaty of Versailles.A good overall introduction to the diplomacy of the whole period is D.M.Smith, The Great Departure: The U.S.and World War I.A readable accountof the 1914 17 neutrality period is Patrick Devlin, Too Proud to Fight: Wood-row Wilson s Neutrality.Insightful in-depth studies are provided in KendrickClements, Woodrow Wilson: World Statesman; John Milton Cooper, TheWarrior and the Priest: Woodrow Wilson and Theodore Roosevelt; and LloydAmbrosius, Wilsonian Statecraft: Theory and Practice of Liberal Internation-alism during World War I.Clements and Cooper bring out the complexity ofWilson s character and challenge the standard description of Wilson as whollya visionary idealist.John Thompson, Woodrow Wilson, emphasizes the par-ticularly American style of Wilson s war leadership.There have been many fine studies of Wilson s involvement in framingthe Treaty of Versailles and of the subsequent fight over the treaty and theLeague of Nations in the U.S.Senate.Once again excellent studies are pro-vided by Lloyd Ambrosius, Woodrow Wilson and the Diplomatic Tradition:The Treaty Fight in Perspective, and John Milton Cooper, Breaking the Heartof the World: Woodrow Wilson and the Fight for the League of Nations.Anolder but still excellent study is Thomas A.Bailey, Woodrow Wilson andthe Lost Peace.Like Cooper s and Bailey s works, Thomas Knock s ToEnd All Wars: Woodrow Wilson and the Quest for a New World Order findsWilson s approach to postwar peacemaking to be essentially correct.Whilethese accounts acknowledge that Wilson s refusal to compromise doomedthe treaty, they tend to criticize strongly his main senatorial opponent, HenryCabot Lodge.Bailey s Woodrow Wilson and the Great Betrayal (intendedas a sequel to Lost Peace) is characteristic of many post-1930s works in itsnegative representation of anti-League forces in the United States.For a morepositive view of Lodge, see William C.Widenor, Henry Cabot Lodge and theSearch for an American Foreign Policy. 416 " BIBLIOGRAPHYIn view of the subsequent significance of U.S.relations with the Unionof Soviet Socialist Republics in the Cold War period, historians havedevoted a great deal of attention to American responses to the BolshevikRevolution.Betty Miller Unterberger s  Woodrow Wilson and the Bol-sheviks: The  Acid Test of Soviet American Relations is a useful studyby a major authority on the subject.Arthur S.Link, Woodrow Wilson:Revolution, War, and Peace, considers Wilson s approach to revolution.N.Gordon Levin, Woodrow Wilson and World Politics: America s Responseto War and Revolution, also considers the issue in the context of Wilson sbroader attitude toward revolution and takes a revisionist approach.LloydC.Gardner, Safe for Democracy: The Anglo American Response to Revo-lution, 1913 1923, also fits the Russian Revolution into a broader thesis,which sees Wilson (and the subsequent Warren G.Harding administra-tion) supporting revolutions but only when believing them to be followingthe principles of American liberal capitalism.On the specific response toevents in Russia, see David S.Fogelsong, America s Secret War againstBolshevism: U.S [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
