Ways of Reading by University David Bartholomae

Uncovering the Past Documentary Readers in American History

In this concise and well-crafted collection, Jeremi Suri captures the extraordinary complexity of America's relations with the wider world across more than a century. The book will be a 'go-to' resource for students of US foreign relations. Mark Atwood Lawrence, University of Texas at Austin

This valuable collection of documents reflects three major trends in scholarly work on US foreign relations today: the stress on sub-state level activities, cultural themes, and the global setting. The documents contain examples in all three areas and enable the reader to come to a deeper understanding of the nation's engagement with the world. Akira Iriye, Harvard University

Bringing together more than 50 primary documents from the period, this volume offers a revealing picture of how Americans have interacted with the wider world since 1898. The documents capture the complexity of the issues at stake and give readers a first-hand look at the personalities, arguments, and events that shaped conflict and cooperation.

Editor Jeremi Suri provides a clear and accessible framework for studying the period with a preliminary essay that introduces the reader to the key issues and debates, informative document headnotes which contextualize the materials, discussion questions, and a bibliography for further study. Discussing US foreign policy not only in terms of leaders and states but also in terms of social movements, cultural ideas, and images, this is a comprehensive examination of a subject which continues to play an important part in US history.
