Douglas Eden dismisses Stephen Kinzer’s The True Flag: Theodore Roosevelt, Mark Twain, and the Birth of the American Empire as a piece of polemical journalism that should not be taken seriously as a work of history. Eden asserts that the work will appeal to certain segments of the academy and media, and he highlights episodes from the early years of the Cold War to demonstrate the author’s bias and lack of understanding of key events of that era, such as the start of the Korean War. Eden also notes that despite appearing in the book’s title, Mark Twain does not figure prominently in the work. The front cover of the The True Flag and one of its photographs supplement the review.

A brief overview of the use of the name “Progressive Party” in American politics. In addition to Theodore Roosevelt’s progressive Party, similarly named parties were created by Robert M. LaFollette, LaFollette’s sons Robert M. La Follette and Philip Fox La Follette, and former Vice President Henry A. Wallace. Each of these parties was distinct from the others of the same name.

President Franklin Roosevelt and Vice President Henry Wallace stand outside the fence at the “Democratic Corral,” watching a donkey that appears to be fiercely pawing the ground. A sign reads “Bulletin. Democrats Face Threat of Third Party Movement.” The president says, “What in the world is the matter with that donkey?” Wallace responds, “I’m not sure but I’ve heard rumors that he’s getting a Bull Moose complex.” The Bull Moose Party was the nickname for Theodore Roosevelt’s Progressive Party, which split off from the Republican Party in 1912. In the 1942 congressional elections, the Democrats lost a number of seats to the Republicans, although they retained control of the Congress. In the wake of this defeat, there were some calls to establish a new party, but they came to nothing.
