Very good in Very good jacket. xvi, 478, [2] pages. Short Titles and Selected bibliography. Notes. Index. David C. Hendrickson is Emeritus Professor of Political Science at Colorado College, where he taught from 1983 to 2020. Hendrickson received a Ph.D. in Political Science in 1982 from Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland. Hendrickson is the author of eight books, including Republic in Peril: American Empire and the Liberal Tradition, Union, Nation, or Empire: The American Debate over International Relations, 1789-1941 and Peace Pact: The Lost World of the American Founding. Hendrickson attended Colorado College from 1971 to 1976. Although a History major, he took many courses in the Political Science department, to which he returned as a teacher in 1983. He received tenure at Colorado College in 1990, became a full professor in 1996, and was Robert J. Fox Distinguished Service Professor from 2004 to 2009. In 2018, Hendrickson received the Gresham Riley Award from the CC Alumni Association for outstanding service, commitment, and accomplishment. Hendrickson wrote three books with his former professor at Johns Hopkins University, Robert W. Tucker: The Imperial Temptation: The New World Order and America's Purpose, Empire of Liberty: The Statecraft of Thomas Jefferson (nominated by Oxford University Press for a Pulitzer Prize, 1990), and The Fall of the First British Empire: Origins of the War of American Independence. He is also the author of The Future of American Strategy and Reforming Defense: The State of American Civil-Military Relations. Most overviews of American history depict an isolationist country finally dragged kicking and screaming onto the world stage by the attack on Pearl Harbor. David Hendrickson shows that Americans instead conducted often-raucous debates over international relations in the long epoch customarily seen as isolationist-debates that form the ideological origins of today's foreign policy arguments. Union, Nation, or Empire is a sequel to Hendrickson's acclaimed Peace Pact, in which he identified a "unionist paradigm" that defined America's political understanding in 1787. His new book examines how that paradigm was transformed under the impact of the great wars that followed. Through skillfully drawn portraits of American statesmen, from Hamilton and Jefferson to Wilson and the two Roosevelts, Hendrickson reveals "union, nation, and empire" as fundamental categories of political discourse that have shaped our engagement with the world since 1776. Hendrickson argues that the ongoing debate over union, nation, and empire in American history encompasses and illuminates the great questions of international relations, such as whether democracies are as prone to war as monarchies, whether trade promotes peace, or whether empire is compatible with free institutions. Setting these debates in the context of historical events, from the birth of our federal government to America's entry into World War II, he shows the significance of the federal union in our history and demonstrates that internationalism has deep roots in America's past. His assessment of the unionist tradition, in counterpoint to rival ideologies of nationalism and imperialism, includes new insights into the causes of the Civil War and shows how after that conflict the building blocks of the original paradigm were reconstructed to shape the internationalist persuasion in the twentieth century. Deftly combining intellectual, constitutional, and diplomatic history, this gracefully written work revives the compelling rhetoric of yesterday's statesmen to offer readers a lucid narrative of American international thought. It challenges accepted interpretations of our role in the world as it restores the federal union to its proper place in the understanding of American statecraft.
