A riveting history of the month that transformed the world’s greatest nations as Russia faced revolution and America entered World War I. “We are provincials no longer,” declared Woodrow Wilson on March 5, 1917, at his second inauguration. He spoke on the eve of America’s entrance into World War I, just as Russia teetered between autocracy and democracy. In the face of chaos and turmoil in Europe, Wilson was determined to move America away from the isolationism that had defined the nation’s foreign policy since its inception and to embrace an active role in shaping world affairs. Just ten days later, Tsar Nicholas II abdicated the Russian throne, ending a three-centuries-long dynasty and plunging his country into a new era of uncertainty, ultimately paving the way for the creation of a Soviet empire. Within a few short weeks, at Wilson’s urging, Congress voted to declare war on Germany, asserting the United States’ new role as a global power and its commitment to spreading American ideals abroad. Yet at home it remained a Jim Crow nation, and African Americans had their own struggle to pursue. American women were agitating for the vote and a greater role in society, and labor strife was rampant. As a consequence of the war that followed, the United States and Russia were to endure a century of wariness and hostility that flickers and flares to this day. March 1917 reexamines these tumultuous events and their consequences in a compelling new analysis. Drawing on a wealth of contemporary Russian and American diaries, memoirs, oral histories, and newspaper accounts, Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist Will Englund creates a highly detailed and textured account of the month that transformed the world’s greatest nations. March 1917 considers the dreams of that year’s warriors, pacifists, activists, revolutionaries, and reactionaries, and demonstrates how their successes and failures constitute the origin story of our complex modern world.

Excerpt from The Vassarion, 1917, Vol. 29 No private motors or maids are permitted at Vassar. NO select num ber, moreover, can retreat to a luxurious club. There are no sororities, sec ret societies or their equivalent. Nor is their lack felt. The only social club house is one for the employees of the college. The students cooperate enthusiastically in its support and in the entertainment of I the maids there. For their. Own use the whole undergraduate body has recently been given a Student's Building with a large auditorium and committee rooms. Democracy signifies the sharing of responsibility as well as of privilege. Self government thru the Students Association, the policy of non-professional coaching in all athletics, dramatics, debating, and publications, and the committee system so widely in use, develop a high degree of initiative and accountability in the students. And the duties cannot all devolve upon a few, because Vassar enforces a point system, rating each non-academic activity and allow mg no one girl to carry more than 10 points.

A seventeen-volume compilation of selected AEF records gathered by Army historians during the interwar years. This collection in no way represents an exhaustive record of the Army's months in France, but it is certainly worthy of serious consideration and thoughtful review by students of military history and strategy and will serve as a useful jumping off point for any earnest scholarship on the war. --from Foreword by William A Stofft.
