This book presents for the first time the collected editorials
Taft produced under contract for the "Philadelphia Public Ledger"
from November 1, 1917 through July 5, 1921. These syndicated
editorials contain his reactions to U.S. participation and policy
during World War I, the Paris peace settlement, the League of
Nations controversy, and the national elections of 1918 and
1920.
The work is first and foremost a resource and reference
compilation. The collection assumes, and the introduction strongly
suggests, that the material represents poorly recognized
information that is yet to be properly and fully integrated into
the historical accounts and interpretations, and that Taft's career
beckons closer examination. The work implicitly casts Taft in a new
and more active light than previously depicted. This book will be a
valuable addition to any research library, and it should appeal to
scholars engaged in research in Taft, and in American political
history.
