A FINE ASSOCIATION COPY: "Born into a missionary family that took seriously its duty to bring the benefits of American civilization to Hawaii, Castle identified noninterventionism, relatively free trade, and the Open Door as the building blocks of realism in foreign policy.

He endeavored throughout his career, which reached its apex during his tenure as undersecretary of state from 1931 to 1933, to teach his associates the virtues of employing limited force when necessary to attain important foreign policy objectives" (The Journal of American History, Vol. 86, No. 2, Sept. 1999). Castle wrote several books about the history of Hawaii.
