The Imperial Cruise: A Secret History of Empire and War
James Bradley

James Bradley, author of Flags of our Fathers, recalls the diplomatic
mission that President Theodore Roosevelt sent Secretary of War, William
Howard Taft on in 1905. Traveling across the Pacific, Bradley reports that
Taft made 'secret and unconstitutional' agreements on Roosevelt's behalf
that permitted Japanese expansion into the Philippines and Korea and denial
of a once promised protection of Korea by the United States. James Bradley
presents his book at the Marines Memorial Club in San Francisco.

James Bradley is the author of Flags of our Fathers and Flyboys. He is the
president of the James Bradley Peace Foundation that sends American high
school students to study in China and Japan.
