Organized chronologically by presidential administration, this text offers an accessible and comprehensive account of American diplomatic history in the 20th century. Bagby focuses on the personalities and economic, cultural and military factors which influence the politics of US foreign policy. Each chapter presents the key foreign relations problems addressed by a particular presidential administration, and concludes with a short assessment of the accomplishments, events and problems of that administration. The chapters are cross-referenced topically so students can follow a particular subject, such as the Vietnam War, through several administrations. The text also includes a helpful list of recommended readings.

"I like the book very much....The handling of the Cold War -- its causes and development and ending -- is, I think, quite admirable, as is the treatment of the Vietnam War. Throughout the book one sees a great deal of wisdom on the part of the author, and, if I may say so, a very mature attitude toward important historical events"--Arthur S. Link, Former Professor at Princeton University"It is a massive, clearly written, and well researched work. I learned a lot from it as can most other experts on U.S. diplomatic history."--Robert Schulzinger, University of Colorado at Boulder"A straightforward and readable account of American foreign policy in the twentieth century. The focus on military crises makes the book invaluable for a military history course."--James A. Brown, Tougaloo College
