Thomas Andrew Bailey December 14 1902 - July 26 1983 was a professor of history at his alma mater Stanford University and wrote many historical monographs on diplomatic history as well as the widely used American history textbooks A Diplomatic History of the American People and The American Pageant. He was known for his witty style and clever terms he coined such as "international gangsterism." He popularized diplomatic history with his entertaining textbooks and lectures the presentation style of which followed Ephraim Douglass Adams. Bailey contended foreign policy was significantly affected by public opinion and that current policymakers could learn from history. This book wad designed to be a general introduction to American diplomatic history. As in the previous editions the bibliographies have been brought up to date the index has been revised and the glossary added in the Fourth Edition as been expanded. The emphasis of this book remains on the American people and their influence in the shaping of foreign policy. Professor Bailey after three years at Hawaii taught American history for nearly 40 years at Stanford and also served as a visiting professor at Harvard University Cornell University the University of Washington and the National War College in Washington D.C. He retired in 1968. Bailey authored a number of articles in the 1930s that indicated the historical techniques he would use throughout his career. They remain noteworthy for the care with which Bailey systematically overturned received myths about U.S. diplomatic history by a careful reexamination of the underlying sources. His first book was a study of the diplomatic crisis over racial issues between the United States and Japan during the Theodore Roosevelt administration. He delivered the Albert Shaw Lectures on Diplomatic History at Johns Hopkins University on the Wilson administration's policy towards neutral nations in 1917-1918 later published in 1942. While the impact of public opinion on the making of foreign policy was a theme that ran through most of his works he laid it out most clearly in The Man in the Street published in 1948. In 1968 he was elected to the presidencies of both the Organization of American Historians and the Society for Historians of American Foreign Relations. The Commonwealth Club of California awarded him gold medals in 1940 for his Diplomatic History of the American People. Among the topics covered are Diplomacy Foreign Affairs Alliances Louisiana Purchase Neutrality Monroe Doctrine Anglo-American Relations Annexation Mexican War Samoa Hawaii Panama Canal Spanish-American War Theodore Roosevelt Washington Conference New World Order Cold War Korean War Immigration and Foreign Trade. This work which went through at least ten editions was a foundational text for much of the second half of the Twentieth Century and continued to have impact on historiography pedagogy and curriculum development. This fifth edition represents the state of knowledge and the state of teaching practice at the middle of the Twentieth Century and is an essential reference point for understanding what changed from earlier editions and what were noteworthy additions to subsequent editions.
