Another spectacular history from Fromkin

I read Fromkin's A Peace to End All Peace in preparation for travelling to the Middle East earlier this summer. This book continues his ability to bring history to life, with details on the diaries, conversations, and interactions of both the known major players in the World Wars, as well as those that were influential but behind the scenes. I was already fairly conversant in the major events of the time, but even so, Fromkin's...

The Reluctant Superpower

In this marvellous book, David Fromkin tells the story of how the United States made the journey from introverted isolationist to global superpower. He begins his account with the Presidency of Theodore Roosevelt, whose accession to office as a result of the assassination of President McKinley must be regarded as one of the most significant accidents in history. The tension between TR's "big stick" internationalism and Woodrow...

One of the best books on 20th Century American History

Frompkin pulls all of the major players together and tells a story that fills in the blanks left out of the history books. He also describes why and how these men came together to end, once and forall, European wars. We can truely thank these men for the past 53 years of European peace. We can thank Frompkin for telling the story.

Enlightening view of America's role in 20th century events

This book clarifies one's understanding of the "great events" of the 20th century and the role that America has played. It puts a new focus on what really happened during the eras of WWI, the Versailles peace conference and WWII (and its aftermath). The book is particularly valuable in that it represents an ideal place from which to branch out into specific studies of the "cast of characters" who framed these events. The author...
