{"product_id":"the-imperial-cruise-a-true-story-of-empire-and-war","title":"James Bradley: The Imperial Cruise [2010] paperback","description":"In 1905 President Teddy Roosevelt dispatched Secretary of War William Taft, his gun-toting daughter Alice and a gaggle of congressmen on a mission to Japan, the Philippines, China, and Korea. There, they would quietly forge a series of agreements that divided up Asia. At the time, Roosevelt was bully-confident about America's future on the continent. But these secret pacts lit the fuse that would, decades later, result in a number of devastating wars: WWII, the Korean War, and the communist revolution in China. One hundred years later, James Bradley retraces that epic voyage and discovers the remarkable truth about America's vast imperial past - and its world-shaking consequences. Full of fascinating characters and brilliantly told, THE IMPERIAL CRUISE will forever reshape the way we understand U.S. history.","brand":"Bradley, James","offers":[{"title":"Good","offer_id":48979301007699,"sku":"XG80316014007","price":5.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/4001\/6057\/files\/bradley-james-the-imperial-cruise-a-true-story-of-empire-and-war-xg80316014007-57178992771411.jpg?v=1726560302","url":"https:\/\/keatsandchapman.info\/products\/the-imperial-cruise-a-true-story-of-empire-and-war","provider":"Chapters Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
