Book Description
Excerpt from The Monroe Doctrine and the Great War There is a close connection between the Great War and the Monroe Doctrine. Our isolation from European difficulties is no longer a fact. We are a part of the world and compelled to carry a share of its burdens. This doctrine has been a great feature of American diplomatic history for a century. In the minds of many, a League of Nations means the giving up of his historic policy, but Professor Hall has shown that it is essentially akin to the policy laid down in the covenant. As citizens we have talked a good deal about the Monroe Doctrine without really knowing what it means. In a hundred years new connotations have come into its phraseology and the duty of a citizen is to know what his country is holding out as a world policy. Professor Hall has added a readable, analytic book to the series that will help the American to get a wider view of our world policy.
