The Life and Letters of Walter H. Page (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781646797233)

"The air currents of the world never ventilated his mind." -Walter H. Page, The Life and Letters of Walter Page In The Life and Letters of Walter H. Page (1923), Burton Hendrick, who first met Walter Hines Page (1855-1918) as an employee of World's Work, a magazine that Page published, profiles the journalist-turned-diplomat. As a result of their professional relationship, Hendrick's two-volume account is especially rich in detail about Page's remarkable career, which saw him rise to editor of The Atlantic Monthly, literary adviser to Houghton Mifflin, partner in Doubleday Page & Company, and eventually US ambassador to the United Kingdom during World War I. In the second of the two-volume work, Hendrick discusses the impact of the sinking of the Lusitania on America's foreign policy and the influence Page exercised on US actions in World War I as ambassador to the United Kingdom.
