When war broke out in Europe in 1914, political leaders in the
United States were swayed by popular opinion to remain neutral; yet
less than three years later, the nation declared war on Germany. In
Nothing Less Than War: A New History of America's Entry into World
War I, Justus D. Doenecke examines the clash of opinions over the
war during this transformative period and offers a fresh
perspective on America's decision to enter World War I. Doenecke
reappraises the public and private diplomacy of President Woodrow
Wilson and his closest advisors and explores in great depth the
response of Congress to the war. He also investigates the debates
that raged in the popular media and among citizen groups that
sprang up across the country as the U.S. economy was threatened by
European blockades and as Americans died on ships sunk by German
U-boats. The decision to engage in battle ultimately belonged to
Wilson, but as Doenecke demonstrates, Wilson's choice was not made
in isolation. Nothing Less Than War provides a comprehensive
examination of America's internal political climate and its
changing international role during the seminal period of
1914--1917.
