After the Spanish-American War the United States, both by design
and by accident, became involved in the Caribbean and the Far East
on a scale that would have seemed highly improbable before 1898. As
an "emerging" world power, the United States had to grapple with
new issues, among them the role of military men and military power
in protecting and advancing America's position in the world.
Richard D. Challener has examined civil-military relationships in
the period 1898-1914 to answer the following questions: To what
extent did army and navy officers develop opinions on foreign
policy issues? Were the admirals and generals consulted by the
civilian officials of government, and did they participate in
decision-making? How did the President and State Department use the
military services in execution of foreign policy? Were military and
diplomatic policy co-ordinated? Does an examination of these
relationships help to assess either the interpretations of Kennan
and the "realists" or Williams and the "New Left"? And ultimately,
how effectively did the United States manage to reconcile force and
diplomacy? This book sustains the case for interpreting 1898 and
its aftermath as a deliberate search for an "informal" or "insular"
empire and shows that American leaders, both civil and military,
accepted an interventionist ethic. Originally published in 1973.
The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand
technology to again make available previously out-of-print books
from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press.
These editions preserve the original texts of these important books
while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions.
The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase
access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of
books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in
1905.
