The Life and Letters of Walter H. Page

The Life and Letters of Walter H. Page is Burton Hendrick's two-volume account of journalist-turned-diplomat Walter Hines Page (1855-1918). Hendrick, who first met Page as an employee of World's Work, a magazine that Page published, draws on their professional relationship to provide an especially rich account of 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 volume, 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.
