Description
A close look at Woodrow Wilson's political thought and international diplomacy
In the widely acclaimed To End All Wars, Thomas Knock provides an intriguing, often provocative narrative of Woodrow Wilson's epic quest for a new world order. This book follows Wilson's thought and diplomacy from his policy toward revolutionary Mexico, through his dramatic call for "Peace without Victory" in World War I, to the Senate's rejection of the League of Nations. Throughout, Knock reinterprets the origins of internationalism in American politics, sweeping away the view that isolationism was the cause of Wilson's failure and revealing the role of competing visions of internationalism-conservative and progressive.

Reviews
"
Indeed, embers of interest in Wilson and his relevance have been glowing since the Cold War's end, and none more brightly than Thomas J. Knock's To End All Wars: Woodrow Wilson and the Quest for a New World Order, recently reissued with a new author's preface by Princeton University Press. . . . Thirty-odd years after its original conception and writing, To End All Wars has reemerged in historiographical and political landscapes that remain, in significant
and disappointing ways, largely unchanged since the early 1990s.
