This book presents a study of the career of Charles R. Crane, a
central player in President Woodrow Wilson's entourage. In the wake
of the U.S. intervention in the Great War, Crane participated in
important diplomatic and fact-finding missions. Leclair follows
Crane through revolutionary Russia and on the Western front, in the
emerging countries born out of the Ottoman Empire, and then in
postwar China. In the process, Leclair's book offers original
insights into some of the major domestic and international
decisions that define Wilson's presidency and its legacy in the
history of the United States and of international relations, most
notably Wilson's motivation and effort to bring about a new world
order under American political and moral leadership. Leclair
convincingly portrays Crane as a proponent of the principle of
self-determination -one, indeed, whose aversion to colonialism
predated Wilson's international vision as formulated in his
Fourteen Points. While a convergence of reform interest and
humanitarian concerns brought Crane and Wilson together on some of
the most complex issues of the time, Crane's vision -propelled by a
genuine philanthropic commitment-adds substance to what has largely
been derided as empty Wilsonian idealism. The thematic structure of
this book, the quality of its narration, and the wealth of
information it contains, are added elements that make it an
excellent contribution to the field of U.S. history. It could be
used as a an assigned reading in college or university courses,
especially in advanced American history, American Political thought
and international relations courses.
