A new, succinct history of American expansion from the Revolution to the Civil War, showing how an aggressive foreign policy went hand in hand with the rise of nationalism. Thought-provoking, lucid, tightly argued, and often revelatory. Antebellum historians working in all bailiwicks will ignore Building the Continental Empire at their peril. --Michael Morrison, H-Net.
