Book Description
At first glance, St. Louis, Missouri, seems to have little to do with foreign relations. However, St. Louis, despite its status as an inland river city frequently relegated to the backwaters of national significance, has stood at the crossroads of international matters for much of its history. In this study, Henry W. Berger analyses St. Louis's imperial engagement from its founding in 1764 to the present day.
