Books in the American Political Thought series

A searching examination of TR's political thought, especially in relation to the ideas of Washington, Hamilton, and Lincoln--the statesment TR claimed most to admire. Sheds new light on his place in the American political tradition, while enhancing our understanding of the roots of progressivism and its transformation of the Founders' Constitution.

A sequel to ""Peace Pact"", in which the author identified a 'unionist paradigm' that defined America's political understanding in 1787, this book examines how that paradigm was transformed under the impact of the great wars that followed. It challenges accepted interpretations of America's role in the world.
