“This volume of the Routledge Handbook of American Military & Diplomatic History offers scholars and general readers alike a chance to consider essential perspectives on a broad range of topics. Thompson and Frentzos provide both an overview of previous work and some surprisingly fresh perspectives on a large number of military and diplomatic topics. Interesting patterns emerge as both established and rising scholars treat over 200 years of American military and diplomatic history.”—Sarah J. Purcell, author of Sealed with Blood: War, Sacrifice, and Memory in Revolutionary America“Combining historiographical overviews by leading scholars and original essays by both established and up-and-coming historians, the Handbook is an indispensible resource for anyone in the business of teaching or writing early American military history. Anyone interested in America’s military past, however, will find this well-edited collection accessible and fascinating.”—John W. Hall, author of Uncommon Defense: Indian Allies in the Black Hawk War"As is the case with most Routledge handbooks, this one shows the usual editorial quality and attention to detail. This outstanding collection of essays is certainly a worthy counterpart to the already published second volume of this valuable set. Summing Up: Highly recommended."—E. A. Goedeken, Iowa State University in CHOICE
