Description: Alanson B. Houghton : Ambassador in the New Era, Paperback by Matthews, Jeffrey J., ISBN 0842050515, ISBN-13 9780842050517, Brand New, Free P&P in the UK Some describe US diplomacy of the 1920s as overly cautious, nativist and naive, attributes which eventually led to war. However, Matthews (business and public administration, U. of Puget Sound) describes Houghton, ambassador to Germany or Great Britain through the 1920s, as a different sort of "conservative internationalist," a creature common in the US diplomacy of the 1920s. Houghton put his experience in the real world to good use and transcended the sycophant's role expected of him; for example, Houghton warned that Kellogg's fainthearted involvement in Europe would lead to conflict if, or rather when, Germany again became an aggressor.
