Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "From 1914 to 1917 American diplomacy was an extension of Woodrow Wilson near Preoccupation with neutrality. In looking back at that critical period, Ross Gregory has focused on the complex events which ultimately led to the failure of Wilson's foreign policy. He carefully examines America's place in the world's economy and the inevitability of involvement, regardless of policy. Wilson himself is seen here as a proud and idealistic man, unable to confide in his subordinates and often undermined by their ineptitude or outright insubordination. Added to the problem of both German and English provocations, including the well -known Lusitania incident, was the domestic problem - an American public whose opinion was deeply split as a result of its multinational antecedents. In the face of all difficulties, and almost up to the actual American declaration of war, Mr. Gregory shows Wilson unable to accept the drift toward intervention, stretching his credibility both at home and abroad with his efforts to remain nonbelligerent and to play a leading role in the formation of a "Peace without victory". - Publisher.
