Summary
The central argument of this collection of essays is that Theodore Roosevelt's unique combination of personal, cultural, intellectual and diplomatic links to Europe, along with his goal of establishing a more prominent role for the United States in international politics, enabled him to lay the foundations for the modern U.S.-European relations. The contributors draw upon both traditional scholarship rooted in high politics, and the more recent interest in cultural and intellectual links, to build their case. Their essays encompass: TR's formative experiences and his ideas about imperialism; the challenges presented by partisan politics and debates about immigration; bilateral relations with the key great powers, France, Germany, and Great Britain; his post-Presidential career, including a trip to Europe in 1910 and the role he played in debates about World War I.
