Ambassador For Peace: How Theodore Roosevelt Won The Nobel Peace Prize

This is the little known story of how Theodore Roosevelt, as president, used his mediation and diplomatic skills to end the Russo-Japanese War in 1905. Culminating in the Portsmouth Peace Treaty, this journey describes how TR's unrelenting determination bridged the inflexible divide between Japan and Russia-two countries who could not muster the moral courage to embrace peace. The treaty fulfilled his foreign policy vision of a global balance of power among the major international nations at the turn of the twentieth century. Acclaimed worldwide as a peacemaker, he was recognized with the Nobel Peace Prize for his unique personal style of diplomacy of "speaking softly" rather than "carrying a big stick." Highly relevant to the state of world affairs today and the challenge of America's leadership role in global foreign policy.
