Cold War Adviser: Llewellyn Thompson and the Making of U.S. Policy toward the Soviet Union
Llewellyn Thompson was arguably the most influential figure who ever advised U.S. presidents about policy toward the Soviet Union during the Cold War, yet until 2018 no book-length biography of him had appeared. Fortunately, a stellar biography was published last year, and it is the subject of this book forum. Thompson's two daughters, Jenny and Sherry, wrote the book after carrying out extensive archival research. The finished book is both absor…
D-Day Remembered: The Normandy Landings in American Collective Memory
Michael R. Dolski's D-Day Remembered examines the varied uses and interpretations of D-Day and how that historical event has been deployed within American cultural, political, and military contexts from 1944 to the present. Dolski's work can be located in the specific and complex tradition of collective memory studies. Indeed, it seems fitting that there is no single “collective” approach to the study of collective memory. These portions of Dolsk…

Theodore Roosevelt Abroad: Nature, Empire, and the Journey of an American President
White Rhino and Giant Eland
On December 19, 1909, Roosevelt’s party arrived at Port Florence on Lake Victoria Nyanza. In this last leg of the African adventure, the aim was to hunt first the legendary white rhinoceros, and then the little-known giant eland. These were sought over the following two months in forays from Uganda into the Lado region of the Belgian Congo, the safari’s only detour outside the British Empire. Twenty-four hours in a “smart little steamer” took the…
A Lion Roars in East Africa
While Theodore stalked British East Africa with Kermit, Edith took three of the children, Ethel, Archie, and Quentin, on an expedition of their own to Europe. They sailed on the S. S. Crete and she brought along $10,000 to finance a five months “endless sightseeing tour,” for the children’s education. 1 The voyagers arrived on July 12, 1909 at Genoa where Edith’s maiden sister, Emily Carow, awaited them. By nightfall they were all ensconced seven…

To Tell the People of America the Truth’: Lord Northcliffe in the USA, Unofficial British Propaganda, June–November 1917
At the end of May 1917, Lord Northcliffe, the press scourge of the British government since the beginning of the Great War, agreed at the request of David Lloyd George and the War Cabinet to travel to the USA as chairman of the British War Mission.' This appointment (and its acceptance) was not so extraordinary as might appear at first glance. Both men realized the extreme urgency of organizing Britain's new 'associate' for war and both agreed th…
