Reviews

'Few historians are more adept at presenting complex ideas clearly and concisely than Joseph Ellis. His brief introduction compresses a great deal of information and analysis into a few pages. Ellis shows wisdom in providing enough context...to draw students into the inquiry.' - Susan Curtis, Purdue University
