- This book, which required five years of research and writing, is the first comprehensive study of Thomas Jefferson’s foreign policy since 1990. It is ambitious in scope, offering a wholesale revision of the dominant interpretation of the topic, and makes use of thousands of documents in The Papers of Thomas Jefferson, as well as state papers on both sides of the Atlantic, that were unavailable or inaccessible a generation ago. It combines diplomatic, political and intellectual history with biography to offer a new interpretation of the origins of American imperialism in the aftermath of the American Revolution.
