An American by degrees : the extraordinary lives of French ambassador Jules Jusserand / Robert J. Young. - Montréal [Que.] : McGill-Queen's University Press, ©2009 - 1 online resource (xxv, 327 pages, 6 unnumbered pages of plates : illustrations, portraits
Includes bibliographical references and index.
Foreword / Pierre Vimont -- 1. Genesis (1855-1903) -- 2. Debutant to Doyen (1903-1913) -- 3. Cautious seduction (1914-1917) -- 4. Hesitant embrace (1917-1918) -- 5. Old arguments, new quarrels (1919-1921) -- 6. The impassable road to separation (1921-1924) -- 7. Creation and remembrance.
The expressions of American hostility toward France after 9/11 are not new - Franco-American relations in the early twentieth century were also difficult, characterized by the same antagonistic depictions of the other's culture. Ambassador Jules Jusserand's years in Washington (1903-24) were defined by efforts to correct such misconceptions, whether they came from the venomous pens of French extremists or from members of William Randolph Hearst's press empire.
