Reviews
This book would be an excellent addition to an undergraduate curriculum. Hopefully, it will be generally adopted into classrooms as part of an international education.
Compelling and well-balanced... [America and the World] would serve well as a survey of American economic and diplomatic history in an undergraduate course.
