add to cart   close window

The article presents a brief information on the book "E.L. Godkin and American Foreign Policy, 1865-1900," by William M. Armstrong. Armstrong gives the editorial policy in international affairs of American journalist E. L. Godkin, from 1865 to 1900--the most complete going-over, it has ever had. One of his own questions he cannot, in the nature of the case, answer: to what extent did this independent paper, seldom or never rising in the period to a circulation of 20,000, influence either opinion or policy under an editor Armstrong calls at one time or another "irritating," "unpredictable," "inconsistent" and according to his critics "never completely American in spirit?"
