To: ProgressingAmerica
I have been reading a book named "The Zimmermann Telegram". It's about how the USA was (finally) pulled into WW1 via an intercept of a German telegram discussing Mexico attacking the USA to distract us from Europe.

What is largely discussed is Woodrow Wilson. I knew he was a progressive but never knew what an idiot he was regarding foreign relations. Peace without victory?

The more I read of these times, the more I am reading of the present, honestly.

FYI: The best book on WWI to come out recently is IMHO Thomas Flemming’s The Illusion Of Victory: America In World War I.
