Calhoun examines seven cases of intervention to test his argument that Wilson was the first president to use military force systematically to try to bring about certain kinds of political results in foreign policy without letting the military intervention get out of hand; thus, while he sometimes failed to achieve the desired ends, he nonetheless averted potential catastrophes by the measured use of force and by keeping his generals in check. - Robert L. Beisner.
