A History of Modern IranErvand AbrahamianCity University of New York

In a radical reappraisal of Iran’s modern history, Ervand Abrahamian traces its traumatic journey across the twentieth century. While he negotiates the twists and turns of the country’s politics, at the heart of his book are the people of Iran who survived the impact of war and revolution.

‘Ervand Abrahamian has done for Iran what de Tocqueville did for France, showing how the revolution continued the work of the ancien regime, through the ever increasing power of the state.’Edward Mortimer, Senior Vice-President, Salzburg Global Seminar, and author of Faith and Power: the Politics of Islam

The Cambridge History of the Cold WarEdited by Melvyn P. LefflerUniversity of Virginia

and Odd Arne WestadLondon School of Economics and Political Science

The Cambridge History of the Cold War is a comprehensive, international history of the conflict that dominated world politics in the twentieth century. The three-volume series, written by leading international experts in the field, elucidates how the Cold War evolved from the geopolitical, ideological, economic, and socio-political environment of the two World Wars and

the interwar era, and explains the global dynamics of the Cold War international system. It emphasises how the Cold War bequeathed conditions, challenges and conflicts that shape international affairs today. With discussions of demography and consumption, women and youth, science and technology, ethnicity and race, the volumes encompass the social, intellectual, and economic history of the twentieth century, shedding new light on the evolution of the Cold War. Through its various geographical and national angles, the series signifies a transformation of the field from a national – primarily American – to a broader international approach.Contributors: VOLUME I: Odd Arne Westad, David C.

The New Cambridge History of Islam is a comprehensive history of Islamic civilization, tracing its development from its beginnings in seventh-century Arabia to its wide and varied presence in the globalised world of today. The

six volumes reflect the geographical distribution and the cultural, social and religious diversity of the peoples of the Muslim world. Four volumes cover historical developments and two are devoted to themes that cut across geographical and chronological divisions, ranging from social, political and economic relations to the arts, literature and learning. Each volume’s introduction sets the scene for the ensuing chapters and examines relationships with adjacent civilizations. Written by a team combining established authorities and rising scholars in the field, this will be the standard reference for students, scholars and all those with enquiring minds for years to come.Contributors: VOLUME 1: Chase F.

The Cambridge History of Law in AmericaEdited by Christopher Tomlinsand Michael Grossberg

Law stands at the center of modern American life. Since the 1950s, American historians have produced an extraordinarily rich and diverse account of law and legal institutions in American history. But even though our knowledge has increased enormously, few attempts have been made to draw its many parts together in a summary and synthesis of the history of law in America. The Cambridge History of Law in America has been designed for just this purpose. Sixty of the leading historians of law in the United States have been brought together in one enterprise to present the most comprehensive and authoritative account possible of the history of American law. The Cambridge History of Law in America has been made possible by the generous support of the American Bar Foundation.

‘The publication of the three volumes of the Cambridge History of Law in America is undoubtedly a publishing tour de force and provides an unrivalled expression of current thinking on how and why American law and its institutions developed from the earliest settlements through to the early twenty-first century.’The Historical Association

Cambridge History of ChristianityThis series offers a comprehensive chronological account of the development of Christianity in all its aspects – theological, intellectual, social, political, regional, global – from its beginnings to the present day. Each volume makes a substantial contribution in its own right to the scholarship of its period and the complete History constitutes a major work of academic reference. Far from being merely a history of Western European Christianity and its offshoots, the History aims to provide a global perspective. Eastern

and Coptic Christianity are given full consideration from the early period onwards, and later, African, Far Eastern, New World, South Asian and other non-European developments in Christianity receive proper coverage. The volumes cover popular piety and non-formal expressions of Christian faith and treat the sociology of Christian formation, worship and devotion in a broad cultural context. The question of relations between Christianity and other major faiths is also kept in sight throughout.Contributors: Margaret M. Mitchell, Frances M. Young, Augustine Casiday, Frederick W.

Cambridge History of ChristianityVolume 3: Early Medieval Christianities, c.600–c.1100Edited by Thomas F. X. NobleUniversity of Notre Dame, Indiana

and Julia M. H. SmithUniversity of Glasgow

The key focus of this book is the vitality and dynamism of all aspects of Christian experience from late antiquity to the First Crusade. By putting the institutional and doctrinal history firmly in the context of Christianity’s many cultural manifestations and lived formations everywhere from Afghanistan to Iceland, this volume of The Cambridge History of Christianity emphasizes the ever-changing, varied expressions of Christianity at both local and world level. The insights of many disciplines, including gender studies, codicology, archaeology and anthropology, are deployed to offer fresh interpretations which challenge the conventional truths concerning this formative period. Addressing eastern, Byzantine and western Christianity, it explores encounters between Christians and others, notably Jews, Muslims, and pagans; the institutional life of the church including law, reform and monasticism; the pastoral and sacramental contexts of worship, belief and morality; and finally its cultural and

theological meanings, including heresy, saints’ cults and the afterlife.

The Cambridge History of ChristianityVolume 4: Christianity in Western Europe, c.1100–c.1500Edited by Miri RubinQueen Mary, University of London

and Walter SimonsDartmouth College, New Hampshire

During the early middle ages, Europe developed complex and varied Christian cultures, and from about 1100 secular rulers, competing factions and inspired individuals continued to engender a diverse and ever-changing mix within Christian society. This volume explores the wide range of institutions, practices and experiences associated with the life of European Christians in the later middle ages. The clergy of this period initiated new approaches to the role of priests, bishops and popes, and developed an ambitious project to instruct the laity. For lay people, the practices of parish religion were central, but many sought additional ways to enrich their lives as Christians. Impulses towards reform and renewal periodically swept across Europe, led by charismatic preachers and supported by secular rulers. This book provides accessible accounts of these complex historical processes and entices the reader towards further enquiry.Contributors: Henrietta Leyser, Anthony Perron, Beverly Mayne Kienzle, Brian Patrick McGuire, Lesley Smith, Anders Winroth, Brigitte Resl, Janet Burton, Katherine Jansen, Ora Limor, David Nirenberg, Megan McLaughlin, Alan E.

The Cambridge History of the Book in BritainVolume 5: 1695–1830Edited by Michael F. Suarez SJCampion Hall, Oxford

and Michael L. TurnerBodleian Library, Oxford

This volume covers the history of printing and publishing from the lapse of government licensing of printed works in 1695 to the development of publishing as a specialist commercial undertaking and the industrialization of book production around 1830. During this period, literacy rose and the world of print became an integral part of everyday life, a phenomenon that had profound effects on politics and commerce, on literature and cultural identity, on education and the dissemination of practical knowledge. Written by a distinguished international team of experts, this study examines print culture from all angles: readers and authors, publishers and booksellers; books, newspapers and periodicals; social places and networks for reading; new genres (children’s books, the novel); the growth of specialist markets; and British book exports, especially to the colonies. Interdisciplinary in its perspective, this book will be an important scholarly resource for many years to come.Contributors: Michael F. Suarez, S.

The Cambridge History of the Book in BritainVolume 6: 1830–1914Edited by David McKitterickUniversity of Cambridge

The years 1830–1914 witnessed a revolution in the manufacture and use of books as great as that in the fifteenth century. Using new technology in printing, paper-making and binding, publishers worked with authors and illustrators to meet ever-growing and more varied demands from a population seeking books at all price levels. The essays by leading book historians in this volume show how books became cheap, how publishers used the magazine and newspaper markets to extend their influence, and how book ownership became universal for the first time. The fullest account ever published of the nineteenth-century revolution in printing, publishing and bookselling, this volume brings the Cambridge History of the Book in Britain up to a point when the world of books took on a recognisably modern form.Contributors: David McKitterick, Michael Twyman, Graham Law, Robert L.

The Cambridge History of TurkeyVolume 1: Byzantium to Turkey, 1071–1453Edited by Kate Fleet

This volume examines the rise of Turkish power in Anatolia from the arrival of the first Turks at the end of the eleventh century to the fall of Constantinople in 1453. Taking the period as a whole, the volume covers the political, economic, social, intellectual and cultural history of the region as the Byzantine empire crumbled and Anatolia passed into Turkish control to become the heartland of the Ottoman empire. In this way, the authors emphasise the continuities of the era rather than its dislocations, situating Anatolia within its geographic context at the crossroads of Central Asia, the Middle East and the Mediterranean. The world which emerges is one of military encounter, but also of cultural cohabitation, intellectual and diplomatic exchange, and political finesse. This is a state-of-the-art work of reference on an understudied period in

The Cambridge History of Inner AsiaThe Chinggisid AgeEdited by Nicola Di CosmoInstitute for Advanced Study, Princeton, New Jersey

Allen J. Frankand Peter B. GoldenRutgers University, New Jersey

This volume centres on the history and legacy of the Mongol World Empire founded by Chinggis Khan and his sons, including its impact upon the modern world. An international team of scholars examines the political and cultural history of the Mongol empire, its Chinggisid successor states, and the non-Chinggisid dynasties that came to dominate Inner Asia in its wake. Geographically, it focuses on the continental region from East Asia to Eastern Europe. Beginning in the twelfth century, the volume moves through to the establishment of Chinese and Russian political hegemony in Inner Asia from the sixteenth to the nineteenth centuries. Contributors use recent research and new approaches that have revitalized Inner Asian studies to highlight the world-historical importance of the regimes and states formed during and after the Mongol conquest. Their conclusions testify to the importance of

a region whose modern fate has been overshadowed by Russia and China.Contributors: Nicola Di Cosmo, Allen J. Frank, Peter B.

The Cambridge History of the Byzantine Empire c.500–1492Edited by Jonathan ShepardUniversity of Cambridge

Byzantium lasted a thousand years, ruled to the end by self-styled ‘emperors of the Romans’. It underwent kaleidoscopic territorial and structural changes, yet recovered repeatedly from disaster: even after the near-impregnable Constantinople fell in 1204, variant forms of the empire reconstituted themselves. The Cambridge History of the Byzantine Empire tells the story, tracing political and military events, religious controversies and economic change. It offers clear, authoritative chapters on the main events and periods, with more detailed chapters on particular outlying regions, neighbouring powers or aspects of Byzantium. With aids such as a glossary, an alternative place-name table and references to English translations of sources, it will be valuable as an introduction. However, it also offers stimulating new approaches and important new findings, making it essential reading for postgraduates and for specialists.Contributors: Jonathan Shepard, Andrew Louth, Zeev Rubin, R.

Dynasty in 907 to the Mongol conquest of the Southern Sung in 1279. Its twelve chapters survey the personalities and events that marked the rise, consolidation, and demise of the Sung polity during an era of profound social, economic, and intellectual ferment. The authors place particular emphasis on the emergence of a politically conscious literati class during the Sung, characterized by the increasing importance of the examination system early in the dynasty and on the rise of the tao-hsueh (Neo-Confucian) movement toward the end. In addition, they highlight the destabilizing influence of factionalism and ministerial despotism on Sung political culture and the impact of the powerful steppe empires of the Khitan Liao, Tangut Hsi Hsia, Jurchen Chin, and Mongol Yüan on the shape and tempo of Sung dynastic events.Contributors: Paul Jakov Smith, Naomi Standen, Hugh R.

Records of the Salem Witch-HuntBernard Rosenthal

This book represents the first comprehensive record of all legal documents pertaining to the Salem witch trials, in chronological order. Numerous newly discovered manuscripts, as well as records published in earlier books that were overlooked in other editions, offer a comprehensive narrative account of the events of 1692–93, with supplementary materials stretching as far as the mid-18th century. The book can be used as a reference book or read as an unfolding narrative. All legal records are newly transcribed, and included in this edition is a historical introduction, a legal introduction, and a linguistic introduction. Manuscripts are accompanied by notes that, in many cases, identify the person who wrote the record. This has never been attempted, and much is revealed by seeing who wrote what, when.

‘This monumental new work of collaborative historical scholarship presents nearly a thousand legal documents relating to that outbreak, freshly edited with scrupulous care and introduced with a series of helpful essays. … Records of the Salem Witch-Hunt will be welcomed not only by legal scholars, linguists, American Colonial historians, and students of witchcraft, but by all who continue to be drawn to the dark events that unfolded in a New England village more than three centuries ago.’Paul Boyer, co-author with Stephen Nissenbaum of Salem Possessed: The Social Origins of Witchcraft

A Dictionary of Jewish-Christian RelationsEdited by Edward Kesslerand Neil Wenborn

An A to Z companion to 2,000 years of encounter between Judaism and Christianity, A Dictionary of Jewish-Christian Relations is a pioneering work which explores and defines the many factors which characterise the historic and ongoing relationship between the two traditions. From Aaron to Zionism, the editors have brought together over 700 entries – including events, institutions, movements, people, places and publications – contributed by more than 100 internationally renowned scholars. The Dictionary offers a focus for the study and understanding of Jewish-Christian relations internationally, both within and between Judaism and Christianity. It provides a comprehensive single reference to a subject which touches on numerous areas of study.

‘Arguably no relationship of any two faith communities in the course of history has been both so close and so far apart as that of Jewry and Christendom. Yet this new era has both produced and affords a relationship between the two ... in which both the profound differences as well as the ‘shared patrimony’ can be genuinely appreciated. This Dictionary will have a special place in reflecting and facilitating this process.’Rabbi David Rosen, President, the International Jewish Committee for Interreligious Consultation

ShanghaiPolitical and Economic Reports 1842–1943Edited by R. Jarman

The remarkable and durable institution of the International Settlement allowed the British to report in detail on political and economic matters in Shanghai and China. This collection of primary documents establishes a comprehensive series of despatches, in the main from the British consul in Shanghai to the British ambassador to China based usually in Peking, but in the 1930s based in Shanghai itself. The form and extent of communications vary during the period, and include annual reports and trade returns, judicial reviews, despatches on topics of interest and telegrams on urgent matters. After 1920 series of quarterly political reports and six-monthly intelligence summaries are initiated, and some other irregular periodic reports emerge. The collection of documents ends with the winding up of the Settlement under wartime Japanese occupation, and numerous papers in 1942 carry discussion of this conclusion.2008 245 x 160 mm 978-1-84097-210-8 18 Volume Set £5495.00www.cambridge.org/9781840972108

the result of such changes, is also well to the fore, with some attention to port development and oil concessions – except in the Gulf of Suez, there was no exploitation of coastal or seabed oil reserves before 1967, and has been none subsequently. The dates chosen inevitably reflect the British provenance of the records, corresponding as they do with Britain’s acquisition of Aden in 1839 and departure from it in 1967, a period that saw the development and then the recession of European influence in the Red Sea. The European presence was not finally extinguished until 1977, when the Afars and Issas, the former French Somaliland, gained independence from France.Documentary Studies in Arabian Geopolitics

The original set, Arabian Boundaries 1853–1960, set out clearly to trace the creation and subsequent changes to the boundaries of the Gulf and peninsula states using primary documents researched from the British Government archives. Regular release of the Government material means that updates to the status of the boundaries examined become available and we have already produced Arabian Boundaries 1961–1965. A further 10-year period of files has become available. The new material is of particular interest covering, as it does, the intense period of diplomatic activity engendered by the announcement of the British Government, in 1968, of their intention to withdraw from the Gulf States by 1971. The material will be arranged boundary by boundary, in the same order as the previous collection and will consist of approximately 11000 pages.2009 240 x 160 mm 11000pp 30 maps 978-1-84097-240-5 Set £4795.00www.cambridge.org/9781840972405

A Commonwealth of the PeoplePopular Politics and England’s Long Social Revolution, 1066–1649David RollisonUniversity of Sydney

This book argues that the succession of crises from the Norman Conquest to the English Revolution were causal links and chains of collective memory in a populist movement which saw state institutions and elites made answerable to a greater community that was once called ‘commonwealth’ but is now called ‘society’.

‘Ranging across language, landscape, politics, poetry and literature, David Rollison provides an important and powerful history of the development of pre-modern England. A Commonwealth of the People is a fascinating account of the development of the politics of ‘commonweal’: how, from the fourteenth to the seventeenth century, the voices of common people became both ‘English’ and ‘communal’. In its scope and imagination, this is an exemplary work of socio-cultural history, both deeply reflective on the process of doing history, and profoundly engaged with the historical landscape it seeks to uncover.’ John Arnold, Professor of Medieval History, Birkbeck College

The Politics of Jewish CommerceEconomic Thought and Emancipation in Europe, 1638–1848Jonathan KarpState University of New York, Binghamton

By focusing on economic attitudes toward Jews, this book illuminates European intellectual approaches toward economic modernity, measured against traditional political and constitutional ideals. By elucidating these general debates, it renders contemporary Jewish economic self-conceptions fully explicable for the first time.

‘Jonathan Karp’s book is an erudite, elegant, and insightful study of the centrality of economics to political thought in western Europe from the seventeenth through nineteenth centuries. Skillfully blending together a vast range of primary sources in six languages, Karp argues convincingly that Judaism and the Jews served as prisms through which the spectrum of Enlightenment thought was filtered.’Derek Penslar, University of Toronto

Women, Armies, and Warfare in Early Modern Europe examines the important roles of women who campaigned with armies from 1500 to 1815. Lynn argues that, before 1650, women were fundamental to armies because they were integral to the pillage economy that maintained troops in the field.

‘An important study not only for gender specialists but also for military historians. Lynn is most interesting on the role of women in the pillage economy while his work offers a new perspective on the vexed question of the Military Revolution and its dating.’Jeremy Black, University of Essex

Murder in AubagneLynching, Law, and Justice during the French RevolutionD. M. G. SutherlandUniversity of Maryland, College Park

This is a study of faction, lynching, murder, terror and counter-terror during the French Revolution. It uses the techniques of micro-history to tell the story of the small town of Aubagne, examining how local factionalism produced the murders and prison massacres of 1795–8, and how local activism converged with official terror from above.

‘One of the world’s leading historians of the French Revolution has written a detailed, original and convincing picture of what living through the Revolution meant for ordinary people in a distinctive region of France. It will be widely hailed among students of the period as a remarkable addition to our knowledge and understanding of the complex and violent repercussions of the Terror.’William Doyle, University of Bristol

German Histories in the Age of Reformations, 1400–1650Thomas A. Brady Jr.University of California, Berkeley

This book studies the connections between the political reform of the Holy Roman Empire and the German lands around 1500 and the sixteenth-century religious reformations. It argues that the character of the political changes blocked both a general reformation of the Church before 1520 and a national reformation thereafter, resulting in an arrangement that maintained the public peace through politically structured religious communities.

‘This extraordinary book provides the reader with the best account of late medieval and early modern German history available in any language … This is a post-confessional history in which religion retains its centrality but not its polemical edge, a modern history that has been released from the shackles of modernization, and a history in which ordinary villagers and townsmen take their places in a story that was most often dictated by princes and nobles. And it is a story with a powerful narrative arc. What an achievement.’H. C. Erik Midelfort, University of Virginia

It examines the recent debates on ‘absolutism’; presents fresh interpretations of the Fronde and of French society in the eighteenth century; and includes a new chapter on Louis XIV.

‘The reader who savours the full pleasures of this book will be able to feel that he or she, at the end of it all, has a real grasp of both what happened in the old Bourbon state and how it functioned, changed and came apart. One could scarcely ask more of an introductory work; and one can only regret that more supposedly ‘introductory’ textbooks do not come up to Professor Collins’s exacting standards.’ French History

An Empire on TrialRace, Murder, and Justice under British Rule, 1870–1935Martin J. WienerRice University, Houston

This book explores interracial homicide in the British Empire during its height. It analyzes the tensions that underlay British rule and delves into how the problem of maintaining a liberal empire manifested itself during this period. It also demonstrates the importance of the processes of criminal justice to the empire’s history and the advantage of a trans-territorial approach to understanding its workings.

‘With characteristic sagacity and verve, Martin Weiner tackles one of the central themes of modern British imperial history – the relationship between liberalism and empire. His wide-ranging and richly documented study of colonial interracial murder trials gives a human face to a subject too often approached as a theoretical abstraction. Vivid, nuanced, and provocative, this book challenges us to look more closely and think more carefully about racial domination and the rule of law in the British Empire.’Dane Kennedy, George Washington University

The Two Cultures ControversyScience, Literature and Cultural Politics in Postwar BritainGuy OrtolanoUniversity of Virginia

The ‘two cultures’ dispute between C. P. Snow and F. R. Leavis continues to be evoked in discussions about the relationship between the arts and science. However, Guy Ortolano shows that this was not simply a disciplinary debate but was instead an ideological conflict between competing visions of British society and culture.

‘The Two Cultures Controversy provides a full and persuasive account of Snow’s public roles during his years of fame and a thoughtful exploration of the ramifications of the debate surrounding his celebrated lecture. On these grounds, it will be of considerable value to cultural, educational and political historians of the period, as well as of interest to a wider readership curious about the origins and continuing significance of a famous phrase.’Twentieth Century British History

The Resurrection and Collapse of Empire in Habsburg Serbia, 1914–1918Jonathan E. GumzUnited States Military Academy

This book examines the Habsburg Army’s occupation of Serbia from 1914 through 1918, arguing that it was radically different from other great power colonial projects or occupations during the 20th century. Unlike these projects and occupations, the Habsburg Army sought to denationalize and depoliticize Serbia, to gradually reduce the occupation’s violence, and to fully integrate the country into the Empire.

‘This book effectively refutes the argument that Austria-Hungary’s occupation of Serbia constituted an unrestrained war of national destruction. It also challenges recent scholarship that views wartime occupation practices in Eastern Europe through a lens of colonization that anticipated Nazi atrocities in the Second World War. Jonathan Gumz argues that unlike many of their peers elsewhere in Europe, Austria-Hungary’s conservative military leaders in fact rejected total war policies that merged war and home fronts. Gumz clearly elaborates this traditional military culture, demonstrating its workings at both the casual village level in occupied Serbia and in the highest Imperial councils in Vienna. He elucidates the key conflicts that set the military against the imperial bureaucracies during the War, and that by 1918 had helped to destroy the regime’s legitimacy among its citizens. Above all, his comparative approach produces important insights onto wartime practices, not only in Austria-Hungary but throughout Europe. This is military history at its best, broadly conceived, clearly applicable beyond specifically military situations, and above all, superbly grounded in archival research.’Pieter Judson, Swarthmore College

Nazi Cinema’s New WomenJana F. BrunsLong Island University, New York

This book examines the careers of three of Nazi cinema’s preeminent movie actresses, painting a unique portrait of mass entertainment and stardom under Nazi rule. This analysis focuses on female stars – an important but largely unexplored area – because they were mostly responsible for Nazi cinema’s spectacular commercial success and political failure.

‘Studies in this pathbreaking book which combines commendable archival research with sophisticated theoretical analysis. She demonstrates conclusively that the film roles played by three representative female stars during the golden age of UFA studios – Marika Rökk, queen of the popular review film genre, sensuous Zarah Leander, model of sacrifice for the national cause, and Kristina Söderbaum, a beautiful Nordic woman























who repeatedly falls victim to the forces of evil – all reflect the deep complexity and moral ambiguity of issues when viewed through the lens of national socialist ideology.’Jay W. Baird, author of Hitler’s War Poets

National and state political controversies produced choices that shaped the current American view

of the meaning of the sovereignty of the people.

‘In one of the most significant contributions to rethinking the nature and function of constitutionalism that this reviewer has encountered in many years, promising historian-lawyer Fritz (Univ. of New Mexico) has taken a new look at the role of popular sovereignty in conflicts over the nature of constitutionalism in the US … A highly accessible, nicely produced, and beautifully researched and written book that is a must read for historians and teachers of public law.’S. N. Katz, Princeton University

Military Education and the Emerging Middle Class in the Old SouthJennifer R. GreenCentral Michigan University

Green argues that military education was an important institution in the development of the southern middle class in the late antebellum years. She explores class formation, professionalization, and social mobility in the 1840s and 1850s to define the middle class on a national level, while identifying regionally specific

characteristics of the emerging southern middle class.

‘Jennifer Green’s smart new book, Military Education and the Emerging Middle Class in the Old South, puts social class front and center on the southern history table. … This well-written volume strikes a fine balance between establishing the importance of military education in the Old South and highlighting its critical role in the development of a southern middle class, and is a welcome and important contribution to all studies on social mobility.’Michele Gillespie, Wake Forrest University

Creating AbundanceBiological Innovation and American Agricultural DevelopmentAlan L. OlmsteadUniversity of California, Davis

This book demonstrates that American agricultural development was far more dynamic than generally portrayed. In the two centuries before World War II, a stream of biological innovations revolutionized the crop and livestock sectors, increasing both land and labor productivity.

‘This is an important book! It traces the stream of biological innovation that over a period of two centuries has transformed the technical landscape of American agriculture. … It will be the standard against which the next generation of research in the history of agricultural technology will be evaluated.’Vernon W.

Drawing on both new and neglected evidence, this book reconstructs Old John Brown’s aborted ‘war’ to free the 3.8 million slaves in the American South before the Civil War.

‘Robert McGlone, in his compelling new study of John Brown, has resituated a major figure in American history. John Brown’s War on Slavery carefully dissects the ideals and motives of the controversial Brown.

Mastering AmericaSouthern Slaveholders and the Crisis of American NationhoodRobert E. BonnerDartmouth College, New Hampshire

Mastering America recounts efforts of ‘proslavery nationalists’ to navigate the nineteenth-century geopolitics of imperialism, federalism, and nationalism and to articulate themes of American mission in overtly proslavery terms. Bonner’s research sheds new light on the relationship between the conservative Unionism of the 1850s and the key formulations of Confederate nationalism that arose during war in the 1860s.

‘The American Civil War was, above all, a contest over competing nationalist claims to independence and union. In this fascinating book Robert Bonner offers the first in-depth analysis of the intellectual framework for the South’s claim to nationhood. It is an impressive display of research and interpretation that casts an entirely new light on the debates over slavery, race, region, and nation. As we approach the sesquicentennial of the Civil War, this is a book everyone with an interest in the subject will want to read.’Don H. Doyle, University of South Carolina

It fundamentally alters our perspective on American political development in the twentieth century, shedding light on government programs and subsidies that even today remain ‘out of sight.’

The Reign of Terror in AmericaVisions of Violence from Anti-Jacobinism to AntislaveryRachel Hope ClevesNorthern Illinois University

The Reign of Terror in America argues that American fears of the violence of the French Revolution led to antislavery, antiwar, and public education movements in the nineteenth-century United States. It is the first history of how Americans perceived the Reign of Terror, and reveals how significantly fears of French violence changed the United States.

‘Historians have had a long debate over the implications of the Calvinist-Federalist response to the French Revolution. In The Reign of Terror in America, Rachel Hope Cleves definitively answers this question by focusing on their passionate condemnation of Jacobin violence and its enduring influence. Federalists feared the spread of violent mayhem to the United States, but as the Jacobin threat waned, they and their children began to turn their sights on the violence of slavery. Cleves establishes beyond

dispute the complex ways in which the anti-Jacobin political culture shaped antebellum northern opinion, informing opposition to the War of 1812, the rise of a peace movement, the abolitionist response to slavery, and the northern mobilization for war in 1861. The Reign of Terror in America makes a major contribution to the history of violence in America, and to the history of American political culture.’John L. Brooke, Ohio State University

‘Raymond Chandler observed that there are no dull subjects, only dull minds. Political moderation must seem the dullest of subjects, but in the hands of Robert Calhoon, a gifted

historian, it emerges not only as illuminating history but as imperative for an understanding of our own tortured times.’Eugene D. Genovese, author of Roll, Jordan, Roll and Mind of the Master Class, with Elizabeth Fox-Genovese, (Cambridge University Press, 2005)

In the first book-length examination of the connections between the commercial fishing industry in colonial America and the American Revolution, Christopher Magra considers why colonial fishermen and fish merchants resisted British authority during the imperial crisis and how the fishing industry was mobilized for the war effort, underscoring the pivotal maritime activities that secured American independence.

‘Christopher Magra demonstrates the significance of the Atlantic context during the era of the American Revolution. He examines the economic importance of New England’s Atlantic fishery and how the British government’s attempts to curb that enterprise led directly to American independence. Magra also reveals the signal contributions that Massachusetts fishermen and fish merchants made to the origins of the United States Navy.

Many died abroad, but most survived for months or years and returned to America with vital information to impart and heightened influence to use for – or against – the British Empire.

‘This book has been needed for a long time.

Was there essential continuity in policy from FDR to Truman or did Truman’s arrival in the Oval Office prompt a sharp reversal away from the approach of his illustrious predecessor?

‘Wilson D.

Imperial AlchemyNationalism and Political Identity in Southeast AsiaAnthony ReidNational University of Singapore

Using Southeast Asia as an example, this book tests contemporary theory about the relation between modernity, nationalism, and ethnic identity. The author develops his own typology to better fit the formation of political identities such as the Indonesian, Malay, Chinese, Acehnese, Batak and Kadazan.

‘Imperial Alchemy is a masterful historical account of how homogenizing ideologies and structures of the modern state transformed an already diverse set of identities into the current myriad forms of nationalist and political identities. Using his remarkable depth as one of the most respected historians of Southeast Asia, Reid skillfully traces the evolution of diverse political identities in various locations of the region, from their colonial legacies to the modern day, without sacrificing the richness of precision and detail. This book is a major contribution to the study of nationalism and ethnic identity in Southeast Asia.’Jacques Bertrand, University of Toronto

An in-depth tour of the history of charity in Islamic societies from the beginnings of Islam to the present day. This book demonstrates how historical circumstances, social status, gender, age and other factors interacted with religious ideals to create a rich variety of charitable practices.

As a consequence, her book has a freshness and relevancy that is not always found in scholarly works.’Haaretz, Israeli Daily Newspaper

An Empire of FactsColonial Power, Cultural Knowledge and Islam in Algeria, 1870–1914George R. Trumbull IVDartmouth College, New Hampshire

A fascinating account of the formation of French conceptions of Islam in Algeria. George Trumbull places narratives by travellers, bureaucrats, scholars and writers at the heart of the production of colonial knowledge and misconceptions about Islam that determined the imperial cultural politics of Algeria and its interactions with republican France.

‘A richly rewarding analysis that demonstrates convincingly how constructions of cultural knowledge about late nineteenth century Algeria by colonial anthropologists, explorers, and aspirant writers stigmatized entire communities as, at once, inherently criminal and desperately in need of civilization through colonization. In his focus on influential, yet amateur ethnographers – figures whose observations and representations of Algerian social practices typically owed more to orientalist literature than to scientific enquiry – George Trumbull compels us to reconsider the connections between the transmission of ethnographic ‘knowledge’, the politicization of colonial identities, and the consolidation of colonial states. The result is a clinical dissection of why and how French men

and women came to think as they did about colonial Algeria, its culture, its religion, and its people.’ Martin Thomas, Exeter University, author of Empires of Intelligence: Security Services and Colonial Disorder after 1914

Survivors’ SongsFrom Maldon to the SommeJon StallworthyUniversity of Oxford

For fifty years, Jon Stallworthy has been writing about the literary and autobiographical voices of those caught up in war. In these linked essays, he sets the poetry and prose of the First World War and its aftermath in the context of writing about warfare from Troy to Vietnam.

‘Jon Stallworthy writes with absolute authority about war literature from Aneirin to Owen and beyond. That historical reach is complemented by the precision of his close readings as he detects ancient ideas of chivalry at the Somme or the Battle of Britain. Stallworthy’s passionate and authoritative survey deserves to become essential reading for anyone who cares to explore the No Man’s Land where art and violence collide.‘Tim Kendall, University of Exeter

‘Jason Maloy’s book is a superb exercise in historical retrieval. But his book should be interest far more than specialists in early American political thought; his book offers excitingly different ways of looking at the general issues of political representation and elections that are worth thinking about in the 21st century.’Sanford Levinson, University of Texas Law School and author of Our Undemocratic Constitution

Why NATO EnduresWallace J. ThiesCatholic University of America, Washington DC

Why NATO Endures examines military alliances and their role in international relations. Wallace J. Thies argues that NATO marks an important departure from all pre-1939 alliances, whose members viewed their alliance partners with suspicion and rivalry. In contrast, NATO’s democratic members have formed a mutually supportive alliance fostered by a need for one another’s approval in conducting foreign policy, which allows NATO to endure.

‘For almost two decades, NATO’s persistence has confounded continual predictions of its timely demise. Now, Wallace Thies tells us why. In this historically informed and theoretically insightful book, he shows why NATO is different from previous international alliances, why an alliance of democracies has resilience, and why NATO is likely to endure. This is one of the most important books on NATO since the end of the Cold War.’Robert Art, Brandeis University

question, ‘What would the Founders do?’ for the most pressing church-state issues, including prayer in public schools, government support of religion, and legal burdens on individuals’ religious consciences.

‘Vincent Philip Muñoz begins this fine book by pointing to a notorious scandal – that there is no evident logic to the opinions handed down over the last sixty years by the U. S. Supreme Court regarding church and state and that over time the confusion sown by the court has grown more seriousness. This state of affairs he traces to the fact that the Justices always cite the Founders in their opinions on this matter and get them wrong. To encourage greater clarity and thoughtfulness in their judicial deliberations, he demonstrates that George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and James Madison were, in fact, at odds; he encourages the Justices to make a fully-informed choice between their positions; and he indicates which choice he thinks most reasonable.’Paul Rahe, Hillsdale College

Louis Brandeis and the Making of Regulated Competition, 1900–1932Gerald BerkUniversity of Oregon

This book provides an innovative interpretation of industrialization and statebuilding in the U.S. by tracing the development of regulated competition. Conceptualized by Brandeis and implemented by trade associations and the Federal Trade Commission, regulated competition checked economic power by channelling competition from predation into improvement in products and production processes.

‘Berk’s nuanced study of Brandeis is about the rejection of preordained categories and rigid formulas, by extraordinary policymakers and also by social scientists who seek to understand them. Ultimately, it is about the limitless possibility of politics to reorder familiar arrangements of state and economy in the interests of a differently-conceived world. Its publication could hardly be more timely.’Karen Orren, University of California, Los Angeles

Humanity’s BurdenA Global History of MalariaJames L. A. Webb, Jr.Colby College, Maine

Humanity’s Burden provides a panoramic overview of the history of malaria. It traces the long arc of malaria out of tropical Africa into Eurasia, its transfer to the Americas during the early years of the Columbian exchange, and its retraction from the middle latitudes into the tropics since the late nineteenth century.

‘No disease is more indicative of social and environmental change than malaria. Its geographical distribution and incidence have been intimately related to all fields of human endeavour, from the production of food to upheavals such as war

and mass migration. James Webb’s ecological history of malaria provides keen insights into this persistent affliction and into the history of humanity itself. His magisterial synthesis will be admired by historians and malariologists alike.’Mark Harrison, University of Oxford

A comprehensive overview of the ways in which individual European imperial powers and indigenous peoples experienced imperialism and colonisation in the period 1880–1960. In this richly-illustrated comparative account Robin Butlin explores the complex processes and discourses of colonialism, conquest and resistance from the height of empire through to decolonisation.
