Much has been written on World War I, but few books focus solely on
America's involvement in the war as successfully as Robert H. Zieger. In
America's Great War, Zieger concentrates his attention on five broad
themes that affected Americans: Woodrow Wilson's role in shaping world
order; America's familial connection to Europe; the complicated
relationship between the wartime experience and the Progressive Era;
race; and the emergence of the National Security State.
