	William Appleman Williams - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		William Appleman Williams (1921-1990) was one of the 20th century's most prominent historians of American diplomacy.
		Williams inspired a generation of historians to re-think the Cold War, including Lloyd Gardner and Walter LaFeber, who along with Williams argued that the Vietnam War was neither democratizing nor liberating but was an attempt to spread American dominance.
		Williams was born and raised in the small town of Atlantic, Iowa.

		Roots), William Appleman Williams examined the growth of American agricultural and industrial output, and the impact each area had on the political economy.
		Williams colored this canvass with economic and class hues, not necessarily surprising in light of what seems to be a revisionist consensus in this course (both at the table and at the keyboard) with regard to the importance of economics and class in the formulation of American foreign policy.
		was surprising was Williams’ creation, for the purposes of this book, of two new classes (or groups, or coalitions, or blocs) that defied the normal conventions of class construction such as income, education, social status, vocation, or geographical location.

	William Appleman Williams Papers - Special Collections - Oregon State University
		Williams is known not only in the U.S., but also throughout the world as the father of the "revisionist school" of American diplomatic history.
		This was the new direction, taking shape in the sixties, that questioned the orthodox portrayal of the origins of the Cold War--thereby holding up a mirror in which to reflect a critical image of the self-righteous liberalism of the times.
		But the significance of Williams for the political culture of the United States is much, much greater and more subtly rich than that which derives from his having been a courageous and early critic of American foreign policy.

		The central focus of Williams' work, beginning with the essays which foreshadowed his Tragedy of American Diplomacy, was how some Americans' understanding of the role of the frontier in US history contributed to a foreign policy of overseas empire.
		Like the men of 1898, whom he was criticizing, Williams believed that the crisis was built into the market economy.
		Williams believed that the men who brought America into the Spanish-American War had a well-developed Weltanschauung, or "world-outlook," based on a particular reading of American frontier history.

		Buhle and Rice-Maximin were (and clearly fundamentally remain) students of William Appleman Williams, a radical historian whose ideas and arguments constituted, to subvert Woodrow Wilson's phrase, "history with a lightning bolt." WAW created a collection of works that read like Greek tragedy written across America's past, present, and future.
		Even as WAW carved his own inimitable figure, his thoughts were always in interplay with those of his mentors, colleagues, and students.
		Williams also approached ideas with a grave seriousness, finding inspiration in a vast library of works not superficially related to his chosen craft of history.

	William Appleman Williams: Premier New Left Revisionist - by Joseph Stromberg
		In 1957, Williams returned to teach at Wisconsin, where he and his graduate students became known as the "Wisconsin school" of diplomatic history.
		Williams saw American history in its unity, with US foreign policy ultimately reflecting the character of the society, or its dominant elements.
		It seems to me that when an historian can find the same rhetoric, the same analysis, and the same theme recurring constantly across the decades, he has made a case that this theme mattered to the policy makers and, in fact, formed their outlook, or at least a key part of that outlook.

		Bacevich concedes that Beard and Williams were more wrong than right about the origins of World War II and the Cold War, but whatever their errors on specifics, he says, they had the big picture clearly in focus.
		Thus his conclusion on Williams’ project: “Building on insights first developed by Beard, he unearthed the assumptions underlying the doctrine of liberal internationalism, explained its logic, identified its purposes, and divined its implications.
		William Appleman Williams, on whom Bacevich so heavily relies, was a radical leftist who dreamed of an America that would transcend self—interest and transform itself into a utopian “Christian commonwealth.” That dream inevitably failed, and because it did Williams could write of the American experience only with bitter disappointment.

		At bottom, Williams had been keen to explore what was becoming of American democracy in the age of American multinationals, nuclear strategy, and the Cold War.

	The Tragedy of American Diplomacy in Iraq*
		Bacevich pointed to William Appleman Williams as an exemplar of someone who encouraged Americans “to contemplate the implications of their imperium.”[1] Professor Bacevich is no aberration; a host of conservative writers are contemplating the dire prospects of the American imperium in light of the Iraq tragedy.
		As Williams noted regarding the Cold War, it is “in reality only the more recent phase of a more general conflict between the established system of Western capitalism and its internal and external opponents.” The Iraq invasion seems to fit the pattern.

		William Appleman Williams The Open Door Policy: Economic Expansion and the Remaking of Societies In the realm of ideas and ideals, American policy is guided by three conceptions.
		In his famous Corollary to the Monroe Doctrine, for example Roosevelt (who thought of the Open Door Policy as the Monroe Doctrine for Asia) stressed the need for reforms and asserted the right and obligation of the United States to see that they were made—and honored.
		Both men were leaders of the secular American reform movement, and both brought to their conduct of foreign affairs a religious intensity and righteousness that was not apparent in earlier administrations and that has not been matched since their time.

	SELECTED POEMS - Charles Tomlinson - Penguin UK
		In his work as a physician, Williams had learnt the skill of objective observation which he applied to his poetry, examining, as he said, 'the particular to discover the universal'.
		Marked by a vernacular American speech and direct observation of the landscape and people of his native New Jersey, his poetry explores the 'raw merging of American pastoral and urban squalor.
		Emotionally restrained but rich in sensory experience, the poems were written according to the guiding concept: 'no ideas but in things' and those 'things', a red wheelbarrow, a group of trees, a river, convey the local and the particular with a vivid intensity.
