Definitive. - Clyde Wilson, Editor, The Papers of John C. Calhoun; ""This is a rich and well-argued book. It not only forces its thoughtful readers into a serious reconsideration about the political thought and theory of John C. Calhoun, but, at its best, forces them to reconsider the nature, purpose, and future prospects of the American regime."" - American Political Science Review; ""Perhaps even the best single study of Calhoun's political thought."" - Civil War History; ""Though it is largely unrealized today, John C. Calhoun may have been our nation's foremost theoretical defender of communal interests and cultural diversity. Cheek's book goes a long way toward reminding us why Calhoun's portrait still hangs with the likes of Henry Clay and Daniel Webster in the United States Senate."" - Perspectives on Political Science; ""Calhoun and Popular Rule makes a substantial contribution to understanding Calhoun's 'reflective journey' and the value of popular rule then and now."" - University Bookman
