Elihu Root was a statesman with an amazing intellect, and the addresses and speeches contained in this book are full of elegant language and remarkable insights. They are written in a manner that is accessible to readers of high school age or older. The arguments and observations Mr. Root makes are clear-eyed and conciliatory, and they are as applicable in today's geopolitical environment as they were 100 years ago. His arguments differ from those presented by most contemporary pundits and polit
...icians insofar as Mr. Root is willing to consider both sides and seek middle ground.
