Many of America's most significant political, economic,
territorial, and geostrategic accomplishments from 1776 to the
present day came about because a U.S. diplomat disobeyed orders.
The magnificent terms granted to the infant republic by Britain at
the close of the American Revolution, the bloodless acquisition of
France's massive Louisiana territory in 1803, the procurement of an
even vaster expanse of land from Mexico forty years later, the
preservation of the Anglo-American 'special relationship' during
World War I-these and other milestones in the history of U.S.
geopolitics derived in large part from the refusal of ambassadors,
ministers, and envoys to heed the instructions given to them by
their superiors back home. Historians have neglected this pattern
of insubordination-until now. Rogue Diplomats makes a seminal
contribution to scholarship on U.S. geopolitics and provides a
provocative response to the question that has vexed so many
diplomatic historians: is there a distinctively "American" foreign
policy?
