Beskrivning
Historical Dictionary of U.S. Diplomacy from the Revolution to Secession covers the period from 1776, when the nation declared its independence from Great Britain, through 1861, when the Civil War presented the biggest challenge to the continuation of the “republican experiment.” Probably the most common misconception about the diplomatic history of this period is that American leaders tried to stay isolated from world events, when in fact the early United States was part of “one grand, interwoven tapestry” of nations.The Historical Dictionary of U.S. Diplomacy from the Revolution to Secession relates the events of this crucial period in American history through a chronology, an introductory essay, and several hundred cross-referenced dictionary entries on key persons, places, events, institutions, and organizations. This book is an excellent access point for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about American diplomacy.

Recensioner i media

Several hundred cross-referenced entries comprise the bulk of this chronicle of a unique and tumultuous time in American foreign relations: 1776–1861. Movers and shakers of the era, where they hailed from, what they accomplished, and who or what they were affiliated with, are in the spotlight of this in-depth look at a particularly formative 85 years in our country’s history. The introduction includes a “Historical and Geographical” summation of diplomacy from the Revolutionary War to the beginning of the Civil War. A chronology, several “who’s who” appendixes, and an extensive bibliography add value. VERDICT A comprehensive overview and stepping stone to further research, this is a good fit for libraries serving students and researchers.
