Reviews

“Focused on expertise in science, engineering, and technology, this outstanding book shows how novel institutions connected ideas to effective practices in antebellum America. Combining rich research, analytical verve, and fresh thought, The Scientific-Military State reveals how effective national power and military capacity could develop in a democracy that sought to confine illiberal forms of state formation.” -- Ira Katznelson, coauthor of “Time Counts: Quantitative Methods for Historical Social Science”
