Summary

"America and the World War" by Theodore Roosevelt is a reflective exploration of the early days of World War I, urging the United States to recognize the war's important lessons. Roosevelt emphasizes the need for America to be ready for war while arguing that the country has an international role when he highlights the suffering of Belgium and challenges the belief that treaties alone can prevent conflict. Throughout the book, Roosevelt pleads for the United States to embrace its moral duty and prepare for war, to stand against injustice, and support international law, warning against the dangers of isolationism in a world where aggression threatens peace.
