Reviews

"An important book, pleasingly brought up to date, written in a clear way." - Adam I. P. Smith, University College London, UK "An innovative way to understand U.S. development." - Chester J. Pach, Ohio University, USA Praise for previous edition: "Transnational Nation will help world historians to understand better the vexed and conflicted history of the US relationship to global engagement. And, while the specific American combination of global pull and national insularity may be unique, its broad outlines are not, as the histories of China, Japan, Russia, or England would show. Without intending to, Transnational Nation provides an attractive template for producing a globally-informed history of any modern great power." - Journal of Global History
