About This Item
Washington and London:: Brassey's, 1998. A clean, tight copy. Sharp corners. Inner hinges are perfect. The Dust Jacket is bright and shiny. No chips. No tears. No creases. No owner's name or bookplate. No remainder mark. Pages are fresh and crisp. No underlining. No highlighting. No margin notes. Useful historical context for understanding why it would be fruitless for Congress to cut off funding for the Iraq war, since just like Theodore Roosevelt, Bush would simply continue to commit the troops absent the funding. Illustrated with a few photos. Bibliographic notes. Index. Bound in the original brown boards, lettered in shiny gold on the spine. From the Dust Jacket: "In 1909, President Theodore Roosevelt's 'Great White Fleet' of sixteen battleships arrived back in the United States from its epic voyage. The homecoming marked the completion of a technological triumph: the first circumnavigation of the globe by a fleet of steam driven warships... [S]carcely a generation earlier, in 1880, the U.S. Navy had reach the nadir of a precipitous decline... [The remarkable] metamorphosis, which heralded the emergence of the United States a s decisive player in world affairs, can be largely credited to one man -- Theodore Roosevelt.". First Edition.. Hardcover. Fine condition./Fine dust jacket.. 8vo. xviii, 273pp..
