Book Café - Studies in Colonialism and Popular Memory: The Imperial Cruise

Details
Category: Book Café
Author James Bradley's new book The Imperial Cruise weighs in on the debate surrounding the Taft-Katsura Agreement of 1905, widely seen as entree for Japan's colonial occupation of Korea.  In the summer of 1905, President Theodore Roosevelt dispatched Secretary of War William Howard Taft across the Pacific, where Taft negotiated a series of secret agreements laying the groundwork for the U.S. Pacific engagement.  Bradley marshals evidence that could "reshape conventional wisdom about Theodore Roosevelt’s presidency," according to the New York Times, America's role at the time and Korean popular memory.
