After World War I, private peace groups proliferated and rapidly
became a significant force in American politics. These groups'
activities were regarded by the Harding and Coolidge
administrations as a bungling interference with the regular conduct
of diplomacy. Ultimately, however, President Coolidge yielded to
domestic pressure and the efforts of French foreign minister
Aristide Briand to conclude a peace treaty. A protracted series of
negotiations between the United States and France resulted in the
multilateral Kellogg-Briand Pact, the treaty to "outlaw war." The
Kellogg-Briand Pact, Mr. Ferrell writes, was the peculiar result of
some very shrewd diplomacy and some very unsophisticated popular
enthusiasm for peace. In analyzing the forces that produced the
treaty, Peace in Their Time reveals significant aspects of American
foreign policy in the interwar period.
