Warren Zimmerman's book was based on a subject which has always intrigued me...[In which particular decade(s) of the nineteenth century did post Civil War America begin the journey of becoming a world power]. Zimmermann's book focuses on five men: Theodore Roosevelt, Alfred Thayer Mahan, John Hay, Elihu Root and Henry Cabot Lodge as the visionary forces leading America's transition from a newly formed continental power to a nation of international importance. As a student of naval history, of the five visionaries, my favorites were naturally Roosevelt and Mahan. The book is balanced, well written and sheds light on what steps America had to take on becomming first a colonial power (over the Philippines, Hawaii, Guam, Samoa, and Puerto Rico) then moving forward to become a world class naval power.Read full review
