This book is a collection of insights on the early diplomatic negotiations between the United States and France, which the author presents as a reflection on the conduct of the US executive branch on foreign affairs. The author contends that President George Washington, influenced by his pro-British sympathies, acted in a manner contrary to the will of the people by failing to support the French Revolution and instead prioritizing improved relations with Great Britain. The author uses documents from the US State Department and the French Foreign Ministry to support his argument that the US government should have been more proactive in supporting the French Republic, and in particular should have demanded compensation for damages caused by French privateers operating against American shipping. The author also argues that the US government was too quick to seek reconciliation with Great Britain, and that this led to the Jay Treaty, which he sees as a betrayal of the US's obligations to France. The book concludes by arguing that the US government's actions during this period set a dangerous precedent for future foreign policy, and that the country would have been better served by a more independent and assertive foreign policy.
