Each took a different path to prominence, yet the three progressives believed the United States must assume a more dynamic role in confronting the growing domestic and international problems of an exciting new age. <p/> Following the outset of World War I in 1914, the views of these three titans splintered as they could not agree on how America should respond to what soon proved to be an unprecedented global catastrophe. <i>The Approaching Storm</i> is the story of three extraordinary leaders and how they debated, quarreled, and split over the role the United States should play in the world. <p/> By turns a colorful triptych of three American icons who changed history and the engrossing story of the roots of World War I, <i>The Approaching Storm</i> is a surprising and important story of how and why the United States emerged onto the world stage.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><b>Praise for <i>The Approaching Storm</i> </b> <p/>"Thought-provoking...Lanctot offers a well-written presentation ... which general readers might compare to Justus Doenecke's <i>Nothing Less Than War</i> and G.
