Books by Samuel H. Beer

Samuel Beer reveals the provenance, purpose, and origins of the ideas of nationalism and federalism in American political philosophy. From the great English republicans of the 17th century to the conflicts of ideas that exist to this day, he reveals unsuspected dimensions that have shaped-and are still shaping-America.

"A learned and penetrating book. . . .One of the most important analyses of the background of the British political system now available." -D. W. Brogan, New York Times Book Review
