The National World War II Museum
In 1905 President Teddy Roosevelt dispatched Secretary of War William Howard Taft on the largest U.S. diplomatic mission in history to Hawaii, Japan, the Philippines, China, and Korea. Roosevelt's glamorous twenty-one year old daughter Alice served as mistress of the cruise, which included senators and congressmen. On ...this trip, Taft concluded secret agreements in Roosevelt's name.
Exactly one hundred years later, in the summer of 2005, James Bradley-author of the New York Times bestsellers Flags of Our Fathers and Flyboys--traveled in the wake of Roosevelt's mission and found surprising hidden history in Honolulu, Tokyo, Manila, Beijing and Seoul.
In 1905, Roosevelt was bully-confident and made secret agreements that he though would secure America's westward push into the Pacific. Instead, he lit the long fuse on the Asian firecrackers that would singe America's hands for a century.
The General Raymond E. Mason, Jr. Distinguished Lecture Series on World War II is made possible through the generosity of Major General and Mrs. Raymond E. Mason, Jr. and the Raymond E. Mason Foundation.
