 | View from Xanadu: William Randolph Hearst and United States Foreign Policy Subjects: Hearst William Randolph 1863-1951 -- Views on international relations; United States -- Foreign relations -- 20th century; Hearst William Randolph 1963-1951 -- Influence; Press and politics -- History -- 20th century; The Hearst newspaper chain, at its peak the largest in the history of American journalism, was a mouthpiece for William Randolph Hearst. He expounded his views on national and world events in editorials, becoming a major and ever-present figure in the political arena. Despise and hate him as they might - and many of them did - American presidents and politicians could not ignore him, even during his later years. In The View from Xanadu Ian Mugridge evaluates Hearst's attitudes towards U.S. foreign policy issues and the effect of his views on national foreign policy in the first half of the twentieth century. |
