This book examines how, at the 1921-2 Washington Conference, America voluntarily ceded its predominant naval power to Britain and relinquished its ability to defend the Philippines and act on its policies towards China and Russia. The author, an American naval expert, interprets technical naval aspects often missed by the press and emphasizes that the resulting agreements offered no foolproof safeguards for American interests. Despite great moral intent, the author argues that the new relationships were based on an experiment in mutual trust and regard between nations, and that the ultimate success of that experiment would significantly impact the future of international harmony.
