From Abraham Lincoln s stance on international slavery to George W. Bush s incursions on the world stage, American presidents and other leaders have taken decisive actions to shape our country s foreign policy. This new collection of essays provides analytical narratives of how and why policies were devised and implemented that would determine the place of the United States in the international arena from the 1860s to the present. Presidents, Diplomats, and Other Mortals is both a collection of compelling historical studies and an overarching case study of the role of individuals in foreign policymaking and an insightful review of some of history s most important moments. Taken together, these essays provide a fitting tribute to Robert H. Ferrell, the trailblazing scholar in whose honor the book was written.
