Walter Hines Page Ambassador to the Court of St. James's, by Ross Gregory (read 7 Jun 2008) This 1970 book studies the role of Page as US ambassador before and during World War One. He was rabidly pro-British and did all he could to get the US to enter the War. While he may have been right to have us get into the war for the sake of saving Britain from defeat, his actions scarcely were those proper to the role of an ambassador. The book is well written and is a corrective to Burton Hendrick's volumes written in the 1920's and which won Pulitzers. ( ) ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
