Description

The Great War's bitter outcome left the experience largely overlooked and forgotten in American history.

This timely book is a reexamination of America's first global experience as we commemorate WWI's centennial.

The U.S. steered clear of the Great War for more than two years, but President Woodrow Wilson reluctantly led the divided country into the conflict with the goal of making the world ';safe for democracy.' The country assumed a global role for the first time and attempted to build the foundations for world peace, only to witness the experience go badly awry and it retreated into isolationism.The Great War was the first continent-wide conflagration in a century, and it drew much of the world into its fire.

By the end, four empires and their royal houses had fallen, communism was unleashed, the map of the Middle East was redrawn, and the United States emerged as a global poweronly to withdraw from the world's stage.The United States was disillusioned with what it achieved in the earlier war and withdrew into itself.

Americans have tried to forget about it ever since. The Great War in America presents an opportunity to reexamine the country's role on the global stage and the tremendous political and social changes that overtook the nation because of the war.
