Wickenden, Dorothy (ed.)

• The New Republic Reader

  • This is an eclectic collection of articles taken from the magazine "The New Republic" over the past 80+ years, going all the way back to the era of World War I. For the student of recent American history, particularly foreign policy toward Russia, it is a fascinating series of articles reflecting the conventional wisdom of the time and the evolution of attitudes in America toward other countries. If there are any flaws, it is that the essays are weighted a bit too strongly toward recent times, particularly the 80's, and this isn't exactly the kind of book that can be read straight through. Better to read a few essays between other books or to read each of the four sections as a separate book in its own right.
