Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Leonard Wood Administrator, Soldier, and Citizen
NO American Who is solicitous of the future of his country can well avoid glancing at the map of the world With the question in mind: By What means have some nations achieved suzerainty over mankind, While others remain subordinate nations, Whatever be the nominal degree of their independence?
Why are France, Great Britain, and the United States, powers of the first order? He Will ask; Why was Germany such a power, and Why are Italy and Japan approaching this high estate? Then he will inquire Why the prerogative of decision among all the world's nations recently gathered at Paris should have fallen into the hands of three nations, and eventually into the hands of two.
