内容説明
In his widely acclaimed "To End All Wars", Thomas Knock provides an intriguing, often provocative narrative of Woodrow Wilson's epic quest for a new world order. The account follows Wilson's thought and diplomacy from his policy toward revolutionary Mexico, through his dramatic call for 'Peace without Victory' in World War I, to the Senate's rejection of the League of Nations. Throughout Knock explores the place of internationalism in American politics, sweeping away the old view that isolationism was the cause of Wilson's failure and revealing the role of competing visions of internationalism - conservative and progressive.
From Publishers Weekly
Knock, an associate professor of history at Southern Methodist University, traces Woodrow Wilson's conception of the League of Nations as it evolved within the context of U.S. neutrality during the first two years of the Great War. Against this background he defines the conservative and progressive views of internationalism, and shows how Wilson won support from a large bloc of socialists by pushing through Congress an impressive list of reforms on the eve of his 1916 reelection. Knock then reveals how Wilson, during the Paris Peace Conference and the battle for ratification of the Treaty of Versailles, lost domestic support because of his apparent acquiescence to the suppression of civil liberties during the so-called Red Scare. Despite the glorification of "Saint Woodrow" by the common people of Europe, Wilson foresaw what he called a "tragedy of disappointment" even as he called for a new world order based on the arbitration of disputes among nations, general disarmament, self-determination and collective security. Not for the casual reader, Knock's analysis of the rise and fall of "progressive internationalism" will be of interest mainly to specialists. Photos.

Turning Your Head Around on Woodrow Wilson
2000/5/31
形式:ペーパーバック
Professor Knock turned my head around on the foreign policies of Woodrow Wilson. This book takes the reader back into the 1890s, when Wilson was a professor of politics and history, in its quest to understand the evolution of his foreign policy thru American entry into the First World War. Nothing is sacred in this author's hands either. He devises a large-scale drama encompassing a spectrum of players--Jane Addams, William Howard Taft, Elihu Root, Eugene Debs, and more--as he dissects how and why Wilson failed to gain Senate ratification for the Treaty of Versailles. If it is a familiar story, Professor Knock's retelling of it is both original and compelling. I think this is the single most important book currently available on Wilsonian foreign policy.

A Good Analysis of President Wilson's Views
2001/9/21
形式:ペーパーバック
To End All Wars attempts to show where President Wilson's ideas on the League of Nations came from and why he ultimatly failed. A fascinating protryal of early 20th century poltics, Knock successfully intergrates both the domestic policies of Wilson with his international policies. The links between the progressive, pacifist leagues and Wilson's views are clearly marked and appear credible. What is not examined is the moral conflict between Wilson's anti-war views and the fact he lead the country into World War I. Further research into this inconsitency could have led insight into why Wilson treated his former progrssive allies with such contempt as the war progressed. The ultimate result was his political inability to convince the American people to join the League of Nations after he alientated his greatest supporters.

Meticulous study on the League of Nations
2002/1/1
形式:ペーパーバック
When I was very young, I read somewhere that Wilson was the greatest swindler in human history. And Wilson has always been a mistery to me. Reading this book, I expected to learn the reason why Woodrow Wilson decided to lead America into World War I. But it was not a main theme of this book. And the explanation about it was not satisfactory to me. My misunderstanding about Wilson, however, is removed now thanks to this book.
Thomas J. Knox decidedly focused on the League issue. He meticulously studied the process of the formation of League of Nations. And his analysis of American political spectrum of that era - especially progressive internationalism & conservative internationalism - was excellent. It was very helpful in studying American history.
