Grade 10 Up—Dobson's comprehensive work uses a chronological structure, covering the years since 1776 in five parts. Each of these sections begins with an overview of American diplomacy during that era. Bolded key concepts refer readers to the more in-depth alphabetically arranged entries that follow, each of which includes meticulous citing of footnotes and sources. Biographies of important period diplomats conclude each section. Primary sources are emphasized throughout, with excerpts from, or the full text of, speeches and important documents, such as a letter from William Seward to Abraham Lincoln on the eve of the Civil War, Woodrow Wilson's Fourteen Points, and the Tonkin Gulf Resolution, appearing in text boxes. Back matter includes a detailed chronology with entry titles bolded for easy access. Black-and-white photos and illustrations offer additional material. Elegant organization makes Belligerents an ideal reference work; Dobson's clear explanations of big-picture concepts and how they relate to specific situations in American history make this a readable and useful resource.—Kathleen Kelly MacMillan, Carroll County Public Library, MD

From

Using a chronological framework, the author has produced a reference source that enables a user to comprehend how U.S. foreign policy changed over time. For example, the First shot tradition (by which the U.S. maintains that it never go to war without provocation) appears throughout the volume, beginning with the Revolution and continuing through the Mexican War, the Civil War, the Great War, World War II, Vietnam, Iraq, etc. There are five sections (“Inventing a Foreign Policy, 1776–1830”; “Expansion and Civil War, 1830–1880”; “Rise of a Great Power, 1880–1914”; “The World Wars, 1914–1945”; and “The Cold War and After, 1945–”). Each begins with a survey of American diplomatic evolution during that period, followed by alphabetically arranged entries for key concepts, then alphabetically arranged biographical sketches of major players. Entries are cross-referenced and end with lists of related readings. The supplementary materials include boxed excerpts from important documents (such as the Polk corollary to the Monroe Doctrine, Franklin Roosevelt’s Charlottesville address, and the Boland Amendment of 1985); black-and-white illustrations; a time line; and an index. The author’s experiences at home and abroad have given him a broader perspective than many, and his teaching skills enable him to write for an audience that knows some things but would like to learn more about why Americans think and behave as they do regarding other cultures. Some aspects of U.S. foreign policy are rooted in values; others are based on pragmatism. This book helps serious readers sort that out and is recommended for academic libraries and large public library collections. Also available as an e-book. --Sally Jane
