How the West Was Drawn
In How the West Was Drawn, David Bernstein provides a detailed cartographic and ethnological study of this region during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Through the lens of mapping and with a focus on the Pawnee story, Bernstein argues that the area was shaped by layers of narratives, not a single declensionist story of white conquest over the indigenous. Maps of the region reveal the story of conquest but also of negotiation and of synt…
The Tragedy of U.S. Foreign Policy
In The Tragedy of U.S. Foreign Policy, Walter A. McDougall has provided a complete tour of American diplomatic history. It traces U.S. ascendancy from its tenuous beginnings through the nation's rise to sole superpower status by the end of the Cold War.

For a White Revolution
The story of American relations with Iran during the Kennedy administration is one of misunderstandings and missed opportunities. Shah Muhammad Reza Pahlavi often manipulated and thwarted Kennedy's policy toward Iran and used American fears of Communism to gain increased financial aid and military support. Disagreements among US policy-makers also contributed to an inconsistent policy toward Iran. These factors resulted in the bolstering of a dic…
