In 1905 President Theodore Roosevelt sent his War Secretary, William Howard Taft, and a boatload of senators, congressmen, and Alice Roosevelt, as hostess, on a diplomatic mission to Hawaii and the Far East. In his new history, the author of Flags of our Fathers and Flyboys retraces this trip and uncovers the secret agreements Roosevelt made, thinking to secure America’s expansion into the Pacific. Instead, he initiated tensions that had a long impact on the region.
