Indeks : p.553-562 p.537-548 The United States became an imperial nation a century ago, exploding onto the international scene within a period of five years ( 1898-1903 ). How did the nationbecome aplayer in world politics so suddenly and what inspired the move? Warren Zimmermann has found the answers in the lives of five men: the hyperenergetic Theodore Roosevelt; the ascetic naval strategist Alfred T. Mahan; the bigoted and wily senator Henry Cabot Lodge; the self-doubting, moderate secretary of state John Hay; and the hard-edged corporate lawyer turned colonial administrator Elihu Root.
