[Hotavio · Rating 2 out of 5]

This book is a collection of documents that encompasses the realm of US foreign affairs. Beginning in the late 1800s, it covers concerns such as American imperialism,isolationism, Wilsonianism, the Cold War, Soviet Containment, the fall of the Communism, and the responses to 911. Suri has tried to gather a diverse collection of documents, with some fitting and others more forced. The book served well as a reference and for generating discussion in my history class, but would not cut it for serious research or appeasing an interest in foreign affairs.

Being able to review primary sources is great when trying to fully understand what was happening in the world at that time. This book is a great collection of these important sources.
