  • Side‐Door Diplomacy

    Open AccessJ Garry Clifford, Masako Rachel OkuraARTICLEPeace & Change2013

    This article recounts former president Herbert Hoover's secret efforts to avert war between Japan and the United States in 1941, culminating in his behind‐the‐scenes intervention to encourage an eleventh hour modus vivendi just a few days before Pearl Harbor. Throughout the spring, summer, and fall of 1941, Hoover believed he had inside information about Japanese–American relations through his unique access to Japan's Ambassador Kichisaburo Nomur…

    J Garry Clifford, David Ryan et al.ARTICLEJournal of American History2002Cited by: 5

    The end of the Cold War has not meant the end of historical inquiry for scholars of American foreign relations. In fact, the disintegration of the Soviet empire into its squabbling constituent nationalities suggests that the most important international dynamic of the last half century may not have been the East-West contest, but rather the emergence of new national states through the process of decolonization. As one U.S. official noted in 1946:…

  • In the Shadow of War

    J Garry Clifford, Michael S SherryARTICLEThe Journal of Military History1997

    In this magisterial book, a prize-winning historian shows how war has defined modern America. Michael Sherry argues that America's intense preoccupation with war emerged on the eve of World War II, marking a turning point as important as the Revolution, the end of the frontier, and other watersheds in American history. In the fifty years since the war, says Sherry, militarization has reshaped every facet of American life: its politics, economics,…

  • Both Ends of the Telescope

    J Garry CliffordARTICLEDiplomatic History1989

    In a moment of inadvertent self-revelation, President Franklin D. Roosevelt once commented that he “had little sympathy with Copernicus” who “looked through the right end of the telescope, thus greatly magnifying his problems. I use the wrong end of the telescope and it makes things much easier to bear.”1 This whimsical statement evokes the irreverent self-confidence that Roosevelt brought to problems of statecraft while suggesting as well the oc…

    The lies are beginning to be solidified into historical ‘facts.’ Let's head them off now while we can. The truth is all I want for history. If I appear in a bad light when we have the truth, that's just too bad....But I don't want a pack of lying, so-called historians to do to Roosevelt and to me what the New Englanders did to Jefferson and Jackson. President Harry S Truman's fascination with history is legendary. “Reading history,” he wrote, “wa…
