Reviews

Advance praise: 'Jasper M. Trautsch convincingly shows how early American foreign relations and wars were dictated by domestic politics. His lucid, informed, and coherent account illuminates the shaping of American national consciousness. It should fascinate a wide range of readers.' Daniel Walker Howe, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of What Hath God Wrought: The Transformation of America, 1815-1848 Advance praise: 'Jasper M. Trautsch makes the best-grounded case to date that foreign policy disputes were central in the formation of an American national identity. His work is essential reading for all early Americanists.' J. C. A. Stagg, University of Virginia
