"Doenecke hammers down the lid on the coffin of the once-popular
thesis that economic expansionism shaped foreign policy during
these years. Historians of foreign affairs will find the book
essential reading."--Paul S. Holbo, editor of Isolationism and
Interventionism, 1932-1941
"Expertly summarizes the excellent studies of late
nineteenth-century politics and diplomacy published in recent
years. Doenecke has a clear understanding of the main structural
issues in American politics and diplomacy and few axes to grind. .
. . The work is an impressive reminder of how much more we know
about the Gilded Age than we did even a few years ago."--American
Historical Review"A balanced and lucid survey. Doenecke deserves
special commendation for skillfully but concisely illuminating the
larger American political and social environment in which these
presidents operated."--Wisconsin Magazine of History
