- My monograph reports well over ten years of primary research. It spans several periods in and almost a century of US history. Each of the seven chapter engages with a separate and significant historiography and could have stood alone as articles in major history journals. The book is deeply researched and combines quantitative analysis with institutional history, yet with an awareness of micro-level political strategizing, It speaks to several audiences in the history constitutional law, foreign relations, comparative state-building, taxation, military affairs, imperialism, and westward expansion. It is, and was received as, a major new interpretation of US political history.
