Ambassador for Peace: How Theodore Roosevelt Won the Nobel Peace Prize

Ambassador for Peace: How Theodore Roosevelt Won the Nobel Peace Prize

ByStanley Wien

This is the little known story of how Theodore Roosevelt, as president, used his mediation and diplomatic skills to end the Russo-Japanese War in 1905. Culminating in the Portsmouth Peace Treaty, this journey describes how TR’s unrelenting determination bridged the inflexible divide between Japan and Russia—two countries who could not muster the moral courage to embrace peace. The treaty fulfilled his foreign policy vision of a global balance of power among the major international nations at the turn of the twentieth century. Acclaimed worldwide as a peacemaker, he was recognized with the Nobel Peace Prize for his unique personal style of diplomacy of “speaking softly” rather than “carrying a big stick.” Highly relevant to the state of world affairs today and the challenge of America’s leadership role in global foreign policy.
