While numerous studies have examined Woodrow Wilson's policy of
neutrality prior to U.S. entry into World War I, none has focused
on the actual merchant ship losses that created the final casus
belli. This work focuses on what the president knew and when he
knew it concerning the loss of ten ships between February 3 and
April 4, 1917. By looking at the specifics, Rodney Carlisle offers
new explanations for the reasons that led the president, the
cabinet, the public, and Congress to decide for war. Sovereignty at
Sea not only adds much to our understanding of maritime and
diplomatic history during the First World War period but also
speaks to contemporary concerns with issues surrounding the U.S.
justification for wars.
