New Theory on Cold War's Origins,
By donald e. davis (Bloomington, IN United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The First Cold War: The Legacy of Woodrow Wilson in U.S. - Soviet Relations (Hardcover)
"Woodrow Wilson never banged his shoe on a lectern, threatening to bury anyone. He never claimed to be a Berliner, nor offered to name names. But a ... book by Donald E. Davis and Eugene P. Trani ... makes the case that Wilson was, all the same, the first cold warrior. According to [this book] when Wilson was inaugurated in 1913, the American diplomatic corps in Russia was a shambles. Wilson entered the presidency avowedly uninterested in foreign affairs. He was quickly faced with a world war and then, in 1917, the Russian Revolution. Afraid of how the new government in Russia would affect the outcome of the war and uncertain how to talk productively to the radical Bolsheviks, Wilson embarked on a policy of diplomatic quarantine that lasted until 1933, prefiguring the Cold War."--not reviewed by author, but taken from the Indiana University's Alumni Magazine's independent review |
