Project Gutenberg 2006-06-11 Public domain in the USA. 129 Latané, John Holladay 1869 1932 Latane, John Holladay From Isolation to Leadership, Revised A Review of American Foreign Policy Produced by Al Haines "From Isolation to Leadership" by John Holladay Latané is a historical account of American foreign policy written in the early 20th century. The book explores the evolution of the U.S. stance from political isolationism to a more active role in world affairs, particularly through the lens of the Monroe Doctrine and its implications for international relations. It delves into the formative ideas of early American presidents and their influence on U.S. diplomatic strategies. The opening of the work establishes the foundation for understanding the American policy of isolation, linking it closely to the Monroe Doctrine. It articulates how the philosophy behind these policies developed in reaction to European political dynamics and how key figures like Presidents Washington and Jefferson set the stage for future U.S. foreign policy. The author emphasizes the necessity for a nuanced interpretation of isolationism vis-à-vis the Monroe Doctrine, arguing that political isolation was not meant to exclude America from global affairs entirely but rather to navigate its emerging role as a significant power. The discussion details the historical context surrounding the U.S.'s reluctance to engage in European conflicts while illustrating the complex interplay between domestic priorities and international obligations.
