Who the (insert preferred expletive) is Walter H. Page? I asked this very question upon beginning the 1921 Pulitzer winning biography. Aside from founding Doubleday books, Page's claim to fame was his role as U.s. ambassador to Britain during WWi. This makes for a truly insightful look at the Great War from within the government as we see the letters written back to the U.S. about the situation in England. Well worth reading for anyone interested in diplomacy and/or the WWI.

Very interesting bio of someone I had never heard of. Tedious and aged narrative at times but recommend regardless. Especially of interest is his role as Ambassador to England during WWII.
