Sommario/riassunto |
|
When war broke out in Europe in 1914, political leaders in the United States were swayed by popular opinion to remain neutral; yet less than 3 years later, the U.S. declared war on Germany. the author examines the clash of opinions over the war during this transformative period and offers a fresh perspective on America's decision to enter World War I. |
