The Path to War by Michael S Neiberg
In 1914 the country was firmly determined to stay clear of Europe's war. By 1917, it was ready to jump into the fray. What happened in between? Acclaimed historian Michael S. Neiberg examines America's entry into World War One, shedding light on the dilemmas and crises the country faced from 1914 to 1917.
Considering the importance of America's response to the challenges presented by the First World War, there is -- not surprisingly -- an extensive body of literature on the American experience in the years leading up to the declaration of war in April 1917Rarely, if ever, has this story been told as well as in Michael S. Neibergs The Path to War: How the First World War Created Modern America ... [A] study that is eminently readable, impressively researched, and remarkably thorough in its treatment of the various issues and challenges Americans wrestled with as they found it increasingly difficult, and then finally impossible, to believe the nation's interests would be best served by remaining out of the war. * Ethan S. Rafuse, Army History *
