    Since their first publication, the four volumes of the Cambridge History of American Foreign Relations have served as the definitive source for the topic, from the colonial period to the Cold War.

  • Decoding the Imperial Masquerade

    William Earl WeeksARTICLEDiplomatic History1997

    Anders Stephanson, best known as the author of a Bernath-Prize winning book on George F. Kennan, has written a provocative analysis of the ideology of American expansionism. In a manner reminiscent of Albert Weinberg's classic text of the same title, Stephanson conceives of Manifest Destiny not just as a phenomenon of the 1840s but also as an elaborate, evolving justification of the American nation and its presumed mission to remake the world in …

  • Building the Continental Empire: American Expansion from the Revolution to the Civil War

    In this fresh survey of foreign relations in the early years of the American republic, William Earl Weeks argues that the construction of the new nation went hand in hand with the building of the American empire.

    William Earl WeeksARTICLEDiplomatic History1990

    John Quincy Adams's stirring defense of Andrew Jackson's Seminole War campaign has long been recognized as one of the most important state papers in the history of American foreign relations. The defense, formulated in a letter dated 28 November 1818 to Minister to Spain George Erving, was described by Thomas Jefferson as being “among the ablest I have ever seen, both as to logic and style.”1 Historians have concurred in this view. In 1906 Hubert…
