Seller's Description:
Very good in Very good jacket. vii, [5], 194 pages. Illustrations. Footnotes. Appendix. Bibliographical Essay. Index. Inscribed by the author on the fep. Inscription reads: For Ben Read, with best wishes and wit gratitude for the many kindnesses shown to me. Gene Trani February 2, 1973. DJ is in a plastic sleeve. The contents include: Preface, Roosevelt the Diplomat; 1904: Year of Frustration; The First Step to Peace; Details; Roosevelt and the Japanese; Roosevelt and the Russians; Down to Business; War or Peace; and Roosevelt and the Treaty. Eugene P. Trani, Ph.D. (born November 2, 1939) is a historian, educator, academic administrator, and fourth president of Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, Virginia. Dr. Trani earned a Master of Arts in 1963 and Ph.D. in 1966, both from Indiana University. Dr. Trani began his academic career in the Department of History at Ohio State University, teaching there from 1965 to 1967. From 1967 to 1976, Dr. Trani was a faculty member in the Department of History at Southern Illinois University, Carbondale, and was tenured there in 1971, becoming full Professor in 1975. From 1976 to 1980, Dr. Trani served as Assistant Vice President for Academic Affairs at the University of Nebraska. In 1980, Dr. Trani was appointed Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs and Professor of History at the University of Missouri-Kansas City, and served in that position until 1986. From 1986 to 1990, Dr. Trani was Vice President for Academic Affairs of the University of Wisconsin System, and a tenured Professor of History at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Theodore Roosevelt's interest in foreign affairs was no less intense than his zeal for domestic reform, as Eugene P. Trani demonstrates in this new study of the Portsmouth Conference which in 1906 brought an end to the Russo-Japanese war. Conscious of America's growing stature as a world power and concerned lest continued hostilities disrupt further the political and economic composition of East Asia, Roosevelt proclaimed himself peacemaker. With characteristic energy-and with considerable tact-he initiated the conference and successfully brought about a treaty. It was no easy task. Trani, who has made extensive use of Russian, Japanese, and American archival material, shows that the Tsarist government, mortified by Russian defeats, wished to renew the conflict. This last of the personally managed peace conferences greatly enhanced the prestige of both the United States and its ebullient chief executive.
