The subject of this book is the confrontation between the American
reform tradition, historically inward-looking, and the first of the
world conflicts in which the United States has been involved in the
20th century. It focuses upon those writers and journals most
prominently associated with the progressive movement and examines
their response to the First World War and the effect of the war on
their thinking. During the progressive era a number of journalists
and authors had acquired national reputations as social critics or
as spokesmen for reform. Among these were Herbert Croly, Frederic
C. Howe, Waiter Lippmann, Amos Pinchot, Walter Weyl, and William
Allen White as well as some of the former muckrakers such as Ray
Stannard Baker, Charles Edward Russell, and Lincoln Steffens.
Studying these men as a group shows that, for all the diversity
emphasized in much recent historical writing on progressivism,
there were certain common commitments which distinguished
progressives from conservatives. These commitments, and the
assumptions and aspirations on which they were based, did much to
shape responses to the war.
