Book Review

Zwei Wege in die Moderne: Aspekte der deutsch-amerikanischen Beziehungen 1900–1918 (Two paths to modernity: Aspects of German-American relations, 1900–1918). Ed. by Ragnhild Fiebig–von Hase and Jürgen Heideking. (Trier: WVT, 1998. 298 pp. Paper, DM 45, ISBN 3-88476-246-X.) In German.

Historians of U.S. foreign relations at the beginning of the twentieth century have been drawn to the narrative of U.S. imperial expansion; historians of German foreign relations of the same period have been equally fixated on the roots of World War I in Europe. One result is that the fascinating and important subject of the evolution of U.S.-German relations in the crucial period before 1914 has been neglected. A group of German scholars, rallied by Ragnhild Fiebig–von Hase, is seeking to correct this oversight. 1

The current volume, which will be the first of several, consists of twelve essays on the political, diplomatic, military, cultural, and intellectual relations of the two rising powers. For those who follow this field closely, it contains little new; for all others, however, these essays will introduce the principal ideas and questions of many of the German scholars who are currently writing on U.S.-German relations in the decades before World War I. . . .
