About the author
Born in Boston in 1850, Henry Cabot Lodge built a career that blended scholarship and politics. He studied at Harvard, earned one of the university’s early Ph.D. degrees in history and government, trained in law, and also worked as an editor and author before rising through public office.
Lodge served in the U.S. House of Representatives and then in the U.S. Senate, where he became a leading Republican voice from Massachusetts. He is especially remembered for his strong views on foreign policy and for leading Senate opposition to U.S. entry into the League of Nations after World War I.
Alongside his political career, he wrote historical and biographical works, which helped give him a reputation as both man of letters and public figure. He died in 1924 after more than three decades in the Senate, leaving behind a legacy tied to some of the biggest arguments in early twentieth-century American politics.
