Recenzii
A thoughtful, deeply researched book....[that] contends that TR believed in the intelligence of the 'plain people' and was convinced that the American people, if properly led, would support an ambitious foreign policy agenda.
Some credit for the United States starting on its path to greatness must go to President Theodore Roosevelt, although this is not only for his skills as a statesman in competing or collaborating with foreign statesmen but more, according to Thompson, for his mastery of domestic politics in building popular support for, and mitigating domestic opposition to, his foreign policies....Great Power Rising is a retelling of that familiar story from the inside out. Thompson shows with impressive diligence that Roosevelt was as deft, bold, and consequential a statesman behind the scenes...as he was in the spotlight.
This excellent study on TR's political finesse and his efforts to shape U.S. foreign policy is scholarly, appealing to a wide audience, and a significant contribution to the historiography of Theodore Roosevelt.
Though Thompson does not provide a final answer to this question, his detailed analysis of Roosevelt's political strategy moves us closer to one.
An insightful, well-researched interpretation of early 20th century American policymaking and Theodore Roosevelt's influence on it...Great Power Rising makes a meaningful contribution because of its nuanced view of the ties between the American democratic environment and US foreign policy.
This is the most comprehensive and insightful treatment yet done of Theodore Roosevelt's approach and actions in foreign policy. To Thompson's great credit, he examines where TR stood after he left the White House and brings back the intellectual and policy dimensions of his quarrel with Woodrow Wilson.
John Thompson cogently places Theodore Roosevelt's foreign policy into its domestic context, revealing in the process the importance of public opinion, mass communications, and party politics to the rise of the United States. Clearly argued and brimming with colorful detail, this book recasts not only TR's statecraft, but also the enduring interplay between international affairs and domestic politics.
The great merit of John M. Thompson's study, backed by an impressive array of primary sources, is to shed new light on the domestic context - particularly public opinion - and to reveal to what extent it was a major determinant of TR's foreign policy. As such this novel approach to TR's diplomacy usefully and neatly completes previous works similarly devoted to his unique statecraft in international affairs.
Theodore Roosevelt was the first president to embrace the idea of the United States as a world power. Great Power Rising thoughtfully examines how domestic politics shaped and constrained his efforts to pursue more activist policies abroad. In doing so, it highlights a lesson that still holds true for presidents today-successful statesmanship requires understanding and navigating the currents of public opinion.
