Forging the Trident: Theodore Roosevelt and the United States Navy: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Forging the Trident: Theodore Roosevelt and the United States Navy" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

Although Theodore Roosevelt has been the subject of numerous books, there has not been a single volume that traces Roosevelts interaction with the U.S. Navy from his work as a naval historian in the 1880s through his leadership of the Navy as president in the early twentieth century. The editors of this volume fill in this gap in the historical literature. Each essay in this collection by leading historians of American naval history will cover one aspect of Roosevelts relationship with the Navy while addressing the unifying theme of his use of history and Americas naval heritage to advocate for strengthening and modernizing the Navy during his own lifetime. In addition to the book editors, contributors are: Sarah Goldberger, James R. Holmes, David Kohnen, Branden Little, Jon Scott Logel, Edward J. Marolda, Kevin D. McCranie, Matthew Oyos, Jason W. Smith, and Craig L. Symonds.

PREFACE AND ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

Picture 8

Battleships served a power-projection role for the United States during Theodore Roosevelts presidency. Today aircraft carriers perform that power-projection role; they include the Nimitz-class supercarrier USS Theodore Roosevelt (CVN 71), commissioned by the U.S. Navy in 1986 to honor the twenty-sixth president of the United States. Few people have had as profound and multifaceted an impact on the U.S. Navy as Theodore Roosevelt did during his time as Assistant Secretary of the Navy and as commander in chief. An accomplished naval historian before embarking on a political career, Roosevelt used naval history and heritage as a way to capture the interest and secure the support of the public, the press, and his fellow politicians for an expanded and mightier American fleet. Roosevelts appropriation and glorification of Americas naval past to educate his fellow Americans and enhance U.S. naval power in his own time forms the central theme of this book. Drawing inspiration from FDR and the U.S. Navy (New York: St. Martins Press, 1998), an excellent collection of scholarly essays edited by Edward J. Marolda that examines Franklin D. Roosevelts lifelong interaction with the Navy, we decided to produce a similar book focusing on Theodore Roosevelt, FDRs distant cousin and idol.

This volume is a cooperative effort between faculty members in the Department of History at Salve Regina University and the John B. Hattendorf Center for Maritime Historical Research at the Naval War College, both in Newport, Rhode Island. A key element in the development of the book was a conference workshop held at Salve Regina Universitys Pell Center for International Relations and Public Policy on 26 January 2019. At Salve Regina University, Jim Ludes, the executive director of the Pell Center, supported this project from its beginning and generously provided the venue for the workshop, while Teresa Haas, the office and events manager at the Pell Center, expertly handled the logistics. Special thanks go to Sally McGinty and the rest of the McGinty family for their generous financial support of the Department of Historys activities through the John E. McGinty Fund in History, which provided funding for the workshop. At the Hattendorf Center, David Kohnen, the director, arranged funding support for travel to the workshop, and Mark Fiorey, the deputy director, handled the travel arrangements. At the Naval Institute Press, Glenn Griffith expressed immediate interest in publishing this volume and gave valuable advice as the manuscript moved toward publication.

William Leeman would like to thank Salve Regina University for awarding him a semester-long sabbatical to complete work on the book. His student Makenzie Sadler helped with the preparation of the book manuscript during the final stages. His Department of History colleagues Timothy Neary and John Quinn have offered advice, support, enthusiasm, and encouragement for this project since its inception. His parents, Barbara and William Leeman, have provided unwavering support and encouragement for this book, as they have for all of his previous historical endeavors.
