AM ERICAN STU DI ES & POLITICS 173028 Ambition, a History: From Vice to Virtue

173019 Building a New Jerusalem: John Davenport, a Puritan in Three Worlds

King, William Casey

Bremer, Francis J.

Ambition today is regarded as the fuel of the American Dream, but at the time of the nation's founding, it was seen as a dangerous vice, "a canker on the soul." This engaging book explores ambition's surprising transformation, tracing attitudes from classical antiquity to early modern Europe to the New World and America's founding. 256pgs. • 2013

Co-founder of the colony of New Haven, John Davenport has been neglected in studies that view early New England primarily from a Massachusetts viewpoint. This volume explores his crucial advocacy for religious reform in England and the Netherlands before his emigration, his engagement with an international community of scholars and clergy, and his significant contributions to colonial America. 440pgs. • 2012

171215 America Bewitched: Witchcraft after Salem Davies, Owen The story of witchcraft in post-Salem America, Davies reveals, wasn't just a matter of scary fire-side tales, Halloween legends, and superstitions; it continued to be a matter of life and death. If anything, witchcraft disputes multiplied as hundreds of thousands of immigrants poured into North America, people for whom witchcraft was still a heinous crime. 384pgs. • 2013 ◆ • Oxford University • C • $34.95 / $8.98

180134 American Arsenal: A Century of Waging War Coffey, Patrick Examines America's military transformation from an isolationist state to a world superpower. Beginning with Edison's work on submarine technology, Coffey moves from World War I to the present conflicts in the Middle East, covering topics from chemical weapons, strategic bombing, and the nuclear standoff with the Soviet Union, to "smart" bombs, hand-held anti-aircraft missiles, and drones. 304pgs. • 2014 ◆ • Oxford University • C • $31.95 / $7.98

050556 American Crucible: Race and Nation in the Twentieth Century Gerstle, Gary Is the United States a social melting pot, as our civic creed warrants, or is full citizenship somehow reserved for those who are white and of the "right" ancestry? In this sweeping look at 20th-century America, Gary Gerstle traces the forces of civic and racial nationalism, arguing that both have profoundly shaped our society. 454pgs. • 2001 ▲ • Princeton • P • $42.00 / $24.98

064234 American Law in the 20th Century

180912 Building the Land of Dreams: New Orleans and the Transformation of Early America Faber, Eberhard L. In 1795, New Orleans was a sleepy outpost at the edge of Spain's American empire. By the 1820s, its levees packed with cotton and sugar, the city had become the unquestioned urban capital of the antebellum South. Examining this remarkable period filled with ideological struggle, class politics, and powerful personalities, this narrative biography captures a fascinating city at a crucial turning point in its history. 456pgs. • 2015 ◆ • Princeton • C • $35.00 / $19.98

194402 The Burglary: The Discovery of J. Edgar Hoover's Secret FBI Medsger, Betty In 1971 a group of activists broke into an FBI office in Pennsylvania and made off with files that confirmed what many had long suspected: that J. Edgar Hoover was operating his own unconstitutional shadow Bureau of Investigation. Medsger, the first reporter to receive the FBI files, here reveals the destructive power of excessive government secrecy and spying as well as the potential power of non-violent resistance. 608pgs. • 2014 ▲ • Knopf • C • $29.95 / $5.98

◆ • California • P • $24.95 / $8.98

This successor to Friedman's landmark A History of American Law chronicles the explosion of law over the past century into almost every aspect of American life, and reveals the extent to which social transformations have contributed to significant shifts within the legal system. 722pgs. • 2002 ◆ • Yale • P • $40.00 / $8.98

001994 American Revolution Considered as a Social Movement: Four Lectures Jameson, J. Franklin Based on a series of four lectures delivered at Princeton University in 1925, this landmark volume argues that the most salient feature of the American Revolution was not the war for independence from Britain; it was, rather, the struggle between aristocratic values and those of the common people who tended toward a leveling democracy. 105pgs. • 1968

101110 The Chinatown Trunk Mystery: Murder, Miscegenation and Other Dangerous Encounters in Turn-of-the-Century New York City Lui, Mary Ting Yi In the summer of 1909, the gruesome murder of 19-year-old Elsie Sigel sent shock waves through New York City and the nation at large. Through the lens of this unsolved murder, Mary Ting Yi Lui offers a fascinating snapshot of social and sexual relations between Chinese and non-Chinese populations in turn-of-the-century New York City. 320pgs. • 2007 ▲ • Princeton • P • $37.50 / $21.98

AM ERICAN STU DI ES & POLITICS 135559 Cold War Civil Rights: Race and the Image of American Democracy

160025 George F. Kennan: An American Life

Dudziak, Mary L.

Drawing on extensive interviews with George Kennan and exclusive access to his archives, Gaddis delivers a revelatory biography of its troubled mastermind. The result is a remarkably revealing view of how this greatest of Cold War strategic thinkers came to doubt his own strategy. 800pgs. • 2011

During the Cold War, American racism was a major concern of US allies, a chief Soviet propaganda theme, and a stumbling point to American strategies in Africa, Asia, and Latin America. Interpreting postwar civil rights as a Cold War feature, Mary Dudziak argues that the Cold War helped facilitate key social reforms, including desegregation. 352pgs. • 2011 ▲ • Princeton • P • $29.95 / $16.98

✪ 191983 Down for the Count: Dirty Elections and the Rotten History of Democracy in America Gumbel, Andrew America is unique among established Western democracies in its inability to run clean, transparent elections. Exploring the tawdry history of elections in the US -- a chronicle of votes bought, stolen, suppressed, lost, miscounted, thrown into rivers, and litigated up to the Supreme Court -- Gumbel explains why we are now experiencing the worst backslide in voting rights in more than a century. 304pgs. • 2016 ▲ • New Press • P • $18.95 / $6.98

187183 The Great Exception: The New Deal and the Limits of American Politics Cowie, Jefferson In the period between the Great Depression and the 1970s, the US government achieved a unique level of equality, using its considerable resources on behalf of working Americans in ways not seen before or since. If there is to be a comparable battle for collective economic rights today, Cowie argues, it must build on an understanding of the unique political foundations of the New Deal. 288pgs. • 2016 ◆ • Princeton • C • $27.95 / $15.98

185522 The Great Rent Wars: New York, 1917-1929 Fogelson, Robert M.

181212 Five Days in August: How World War II Became a Nuclear War Gordin, Michael D. Most Americans believe that the Second World War ended because the atomic bombs forced Japan to surrender. Gordin presents a different interpretation: that the military did not clearly understand the atomic bomb's revolutionary strategic potential, that the Allies were almost as stunned by the surrender as the Japanese were by the attack, and that experts were skeptical about whether the bomb would work at all. 232pgs. • 2015 ◆ • Princeton • P • $19.95 / $9.98

The story of the landlord-tenant battles of post-World War I New York. These conflicts, triggered by a housing shortage, prompted landlords to raise rents, drove tenants to go on rent strikes, and spurred the state legislature, a conservative body dominated by upstate Republicans, to impose rent control, a radical and unprecedented step that transformed landlord-tenant relations. 512pgs. • 2013 ◆ • Yale • C • $50.00 / $7.98

In a series of elegant and illuminating essays, a renowned historian explores the ideological origins of the revolution and the founders' attempts to forge an American democracy. As Wood reveals, while the founders hoped to create a virtuous republic of yeoman farmers and disinterested leaders, they instead gave birth to a sprawling, licentious, and materialistic popular democracy. 400pgs. • 2011 ▲ • Penguin • C • $29.95 / $6.98

055539 Inventing the "Great Awakening" Lambert, Frank Beginning in the mid-1730s, supporters and opponents of the evangelical revival known as the First Great Awakening commented on the extraordinary nature of what one observer called the "great ado," with its extemporaneous outdoor preaching, newspaper publicity, and rallies of up to 20,000 participants. Frank Lambert offers an overview of this important episode and proposes a new explanation of its origins. 320pgs. • 2000 ▲ • Princeton • P • $46.00 / $25.98

127769 Remembering Scottsboro: The Legacy of an Infamous Trial

Perlstein, Rick

Miller, James A.

A dazzling portrait of America on the verge of a nervous breakdown amid the tumultuous political and economic events of the 1970s. Against a backdrop of melodramas, from the Arab oil embargo to Patty Hearst to the near-bankruptcy of New York City, Perlstein examines a turbulent era in which Americans began thinking about their nation in new ways. 880pgs. • 2014

In 1931, nine black youths were charged with raping two white women in Scottsboro, Alabama. Despite meager and contradictory evidence, all nine were found guilty and eight of the defendants were sentenced to death. This volume explores how this case has embedded itself into the fabric of American memory and became a lens for perceptions of race, class, sexual politics, and justice. 296pgs. • 2009

106747 Making a New Deal: Industrial Workers in Chicago, 1919-1939 NEW EDITION Cohen, Lizabeth

187194 The Rise of a Prairie Statesman: The Life and Times of George McGovern Knock, Thomas J.

Examines the process through which ordinary Chicago factory workers became effective unionists and participants in national politics. Cohen demonstrates that although these workers may not have been "political" in traditional terms, they demonstrated their political loyalties in other ways, overcoming longstanding divisions in order to mount new kinds of collective action. 494pgs. • 2007

The first volume of a major biography of the 1972 Democratic presidential candidate who became America's most eloquent and prescient critic of the Vietnam War. Knock vividly describes McGovern's harrowing missions over Nazi Germany as a B-24 bomber pilot, and reveals how his combat experiences motivated him to earn a PhD in history and stoked his ambition to run for Congress. 544pgs. • 2016 ◆ • Princeton • C • $35.00 / $16.98

185643 Marlborough's America Webb, Stephen Saunders Scholars have largely characterized the 18th-century AngloAmerican empire as commercial in economics, liberal in politics, and somnambulant in an era of "salutary neglect." Saunders Webb here argues that the American provinces, under the spur of war, became capitalist, coercive, and aggressive, owing to the vigorous leadership of career army officers trained and nominated by their captain-general, the first Duke of Marlborough. 608pgs. • 2013 ◆ • Yale • C • $100.00 / $12.98

051206 Nightmare in Red: The McCarthy Era in Perspective

179935 Roosevelt's Second Act: The Election of 1940 and the Politics of War Moe, Richard Focuses on a turning point in American history: FDR's decision to seek a third term. Often overlooked between the passage and implementation of the New Deal and the bombing of Pearl Harbor, that decision was far from inevitable, but after the Republicans nominated Wendell Willkie in July 1940, FDR became convinced that no other Democrat could both maintain the legitimacy of the New Deal and mobilize the nation for war. 368pgs. • 2013 ◆ • Oxford University • C • $29.95 / $6.98

175772 Sherman's Ghosts: Soldiers, Civilians, and the American Way of War

Murray, Williamson & Wayne Wei-siang Hsieh

Carr, Matthew

In a masterful narrative that ranges from the first shots fired at Fort Sumter to the surrender at Appomattox, Williamson Murray and Wayne Wei-siang Hsieh bring every aspect of the battlefield vividly to life. They paint indelible portraits of Abraham Lincoln, Ulysses S. Grant, William Tecumseh Sherman, and other major figures whose leadership, judgment, and personal character played decisive roles in the fate of a nation. 616pgs. • 2016

Opening with an account of General Sherman's decision to turn his sights on the South's civilian population in order to break the back of the Confederacy, Matthew Carr shows how this strategy became the central preoccupation of war planners in the 20th century and beyond. He offers a stunning and lucid assessment of the impact Sherman's slash-and-burn policies have had on subsequent wars, including in the Philippines, World War II, Korea, Vietnam, and elsewhere. 336pgs. • 2015

✪ 033676 Sentimental Bodies: Sex, Gender, & Citizenship in the Early Republic

190855 Smuggler Nation: How Illicit Trade Made America

Burgett, Bruce

Andreas, Peter

Drawing on texts ranging from George Washington's Farewell Address and Charles Brockden Brown's Clara Howard to Hannah Foster's The Coquette and Harriet Jacobs's Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl, Burgett shows how the sentimental literary culture of the early republic relied on readers' affective, passionate, and embodied responses to fictive characters and situations in order to produce political effects. 213pgs. • 1998

Far from being a new and unprecedented danger to America, the illicit underside of globalization is actually an old American tradition. As Andreas shows, it goes back not just decades but centuries, and its impact has been decidedly double-edged, subverting US laws but also helping to fuel America's evolution from a remote British colony to the world's pre-eminent superpower. 352pgs. • 2013

At the same time that the Civil War challenged the nation to reexamine the meaning of freedom, Americans began to erect public monuments as never before.

HAWAII 127620 Colonizing Hawai'i: The Cultural Power of Law Merry, Sally Engle

043132 Tobacco Culture: The Mentality of the Great Tidewater Planters on the Eve of Revolution Breen, T. H.

Reveals how indigenous Hawaiian law was displaced by a transplanted Anglo-American law as global movements of capitalism, Christianity, and imperialism swept across the islands. The new law brought novel systems of courts, prisons, and conceptions of discipline and dramatically changed the marriage patterns, work lives, and sexual conduct of the indigenous people of Hawai'i. 364pgs. • 1999

The great Tidewater planters of 18th-century Virginia who were among the fathers of the American Revolution were also anxious tobacco farmers, harried by a demanding planting cycle, transAtlantic shipping risks, and uneasy relations with English agents. T. H. Breen's study of their world examines the value-laden relationships that led from agrarian experience to political protest, and finally to a break with a political and economic system they believed threatened both their personal independence and their honor. 216pgs. • 2001

051374 Negara: TheatreState in 19th Century Bali Geertz, Clifford The 19th-century Balinese state did not specialize in tyranny, conquest, or effective administration; instead, it emphasized spectacle. Here Geertz applies his widely influential method of cultural interpretation to the myths, ceremonies, rituals, and symbols of a precolonial state, one which defies easy conceptualization by the standard Western approaches to understanding politics. 256pgs. • 1980 ▲ • Princeton • P • $47.95 / $24.98

125651 Primates and Philosophers: How Morality Evolved

Argues that the advent of ambush hunting marked a milestone in human evolution, one that established the social dynamic that allowed our ancestors to expand their range and diet. Pickering challenges the traditional link between aggression and human predation, however, arguing that aggressive attack was a hopeless tactic for early human hunters, who were small, weak, and slow-footed in comparison with their prey. 224pgs. • 2013 ◆ • California • C • $49.95 / $8.98

De Waal, Frans In this provocative book, a primatologist argues that modern-day evolutionary biology takes far too dim a view of the natural world, emphasizing our "selfish" genes. Science has thus exacerbated our reciprocal habits of blaming nature when we act badly and labeling the good things we do as "humane." 232pgs. • 2009

Slezkine, Yuri

Slezkine argues that the ancient Jews were, in effect, among the world's first free agents. Traditionally belonging to a social and anthropological category known as "service nomads," an outsider group specializing in the delivery of goods and services, these exemplary ancients are now model moderns. 438pgs. • 2006

PH I LOSOPHY 117309 The Retreat of Reason: A Dilemma in the Philosophy of Life Persson, Ingmar The ancient Greeks thought that a life led in accordance with reason would also be the happiest or most fulfilling. Starting from this perspective, Persson arrives at conclusions that are very different; by exploring the irrationality of our attitudes to time, our identity, and our responsibility, he shows that the aim of living rationally conflicts not only with the aim of leading the most fulfilling life, but also with the moral aim of promoting the just distribution of fulfillment for all. 504pgs. • 2008

Scrutinizing such manifestations of "indigenous" culture as the steel band ensembles of Trinidad, Indian handweaving, and music from Zaire, Cowen finds that they are more vibrant than ever -- thanks largely to cross-cultural trade. 192pgs. • 2004
