Download or read book FDR and the Environment written by D. Woolner and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-12-17 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book demonstrates that there is much about the New Deal that can be characterized as environmental, once one substitutes the word 'environmental' for 'conservation'. Indeed, the scholarship that is contained within this extraordinary book will help correct the widely held view that the New Deal is virtually a blank space in the history of modern environmentalism. In fact, the New Deal carried forward and greatly extended the work of the Progressive Conservation Era, and in many ways helped establish the foundation for the modern environmental movement.

Download or read book Theodore Roosevelt and the British Empire written by William N. Tilchin and published by Palgrave Macmillan. This book was released on 1997 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Building a "special relationship" between the United States and Great Britain was a top priority for President Theodore Roosevelt, the talented, hands-on diplomatist who occupied the White House from 1901 until 1909. William Tilchin's Theodore Roosevelt and the British Empire looks closely at Roosevelt's views of and responses to British positions and actions during many important diplomatic episodes, including the Anglo-German attack on Venezuela, the Alaskan boundary dispute, the Russo-Japanese War, the Moroccan crisis, and the Newfoundland fisheries trouble, with particular attention being paid to the previously untold stories of the Jamaica incident of 1907 and the Olympic Games controversy of 1908. Theodore Roosevelt and the British Empire ultimately takes a larger view of Roosevelt's relationship with Great Britain as Tilchin probes the president's outlook on the British Empire's contribution to the maintenance of international peace and to the progress of civilization.
Download or read book FDR and the US Navy written by Edward J. Marolda and published by Palgrave Macmillan. This book was released on 1998-08-14 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Franklin Delano Roosevelt had a lifelong love for the United States Navy. Inspired as a youth by the US Fleet's dramatic impact on the global stage, and its use overseas by his illustrious cousin, Theodore Roosevelt, Franklin quite naturally focused his eyes on the sea. FDR and the US Navy presents the work of prominent biographers and historians who analyzed Franklin D. Roosevelt's long, close, and eventful association with the United States Navy, in war and peace, from the turn of the century to the end of World War II. The contributors show how as President during the 1930s, FDR endeavoured with naval leaders, not always successfully, to build a combat-capable fleet and to deter the aggressor nations of Europe and Asia. The essays argue that one of Franklin Roosevelt's greatest achievements was his direction as Commander in Chief of the US Navy and the other American armed forces during World War II, when the very survival of the nation was at stake. This book is the product of a day-long conference, entitled 'Franklin D. Roosevelt and the US Navy' that was held on October 22, 1996 at the US Navy Memorial Foundation's Heritage Center on Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington, DC. It is both a powerful tribute and an important historical work on FDR.
Download or read book Pearl Harbor Revisited written by Robert William Love and published by MacMillan. This book was released on 1995 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In one stroke, the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbour brought together the war in Europe between Britain and Russia on the one hand, and Germany on the other, with the ongoing conflict between Japan and China, turning it into the global struggle between two great coalitions we know as World War II. By bringing America into the war, Japan assured not only the destruction of her Asian empire, but also the end of American isolationism, the survival of Soviet communism and the ultimate bankruptcy of the great European colonial systems.

Download or read book Tariffs Trade and European Integration 1947 1957 written by Wendy Asbeek Brusse and published by . This book was released on 1997 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wendy Asbeek Brusse provides us with the first comprehensive, multicountry reconstruction of the commercial-policy origins of European integration. Based on archival sources of six countries, Tariffs, Trade and European Integration, 1947-1957 shows that the creation of the Common Market can only be fully understood if one takes into account its economic underpinning. Immediately after the war, European countries were continuously searching for economic stability, welfare and commercial disarmament, but existing international markets could not satisfy their aspirations. Only by reaching for novel solutions did they bring the trade wars of the 1930s finally to an end and lay the foundation for European Union.
Download or read book Allies at War written by David Reynolds and published by . This book was released on 1994 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This major work trancends the conventional sub-cultures of academic history by bringing economic, social, military, and diplomatic history back together, where they belong. Allies at War represents a collaborative effort among British, American, and Russian scholars - with the Russian contributions being among the first fruits of access to Soviet archives - in which all the historians have attempted to set aside the accumulation of patriotic myth and political ideology that have characterized many Cold War studies of World War II. Strategy, economy, the home front, and foreign policy are each studied 'nationally' and then in the context of the other members of the alliance. Allies at War therefore represents a pioneering attempt to see the wartime alliance as both 'national' and 'international' history.
Download or read book Sumner Welles written by Benjamin Welles and published by Palgrave Macmillan. This book was released on 1997-11-15 with total page 464 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1915, Sumner Welles, the son of an aristocratic family, began to work for the US State Department. Welles quickly showed an aptitude for the delicate job of international negotiation. His early successes in Japan later brought him to the attention of FDR who brought him into his administration as Under-Secretary of State. While Welles provided FDR with invaluable information about Europe and Japan, his main achievement was the development of US relations with Latin America. His bright career, however, was not to last. In 1940, FDR and his cabinet traveled to the funeral of William Bankhead, Speaker of the House. Welles traveled with them and, on the return journey, he propositioned a black Pullman car porter, allowing an aspect of his life that was heretofore hidden, to emerge. The scandal was made public and Welles resigned in 1943, thereby ending his career. This life of Sumner Welles is candidly written, for the first time, by his son, Benjamin Welles. Anyone interested in the accomplishments of this great man, the history of his time and the presidency of FDR, will want to read this beautifully written book.
