When warfare broke out in Europe in 1914, political leaders in america were swayed by popular opinion to remain neutral; yet less than three years later, the nation declared warfare on Germany. In Little or nothing Less Than War: A FRESH History of America's Access into World War I, Justus D. Doenecke examines the clash of ideas over the warfare in this transformative period and offers a fresh point of view on America's decision to get into World War I. Doenecke reappraises the general public and private diplomacy of Chief executive Woodrow Wilson and his closest advisors and explores in great depth the response of Congress to the warfare. He also investigates the debates that raged in the popular advertising and among citizen organizations that sprang up across the country as the US market was threatened by European blockades so that as Americans passed on on boats sunk by German U-boats. The decision to activate in battle finally belonged to Wilson, but as Doenecke shows, Wilson's choice was not made in isolation. Little or nothing Less Than War provides a comprehensive examination of America's internal political climate and its own changing international role during the seminal period of 1914-1917. The publication is published by University Press of Kentucky.
