Empire of Liberty: A History of the Early Republic, 1789-1815 (Oxford History of the United States)

Synopsis

"Wood's superb book brings together much of what historians now know about the first quarter-century of the nation's history under the Constitution. Acknowledged as the leading historian of the period, Wood brings authority and easy style to a tough task—wrestling into order a period of unusual anxiety, confusion, crisis and unbridled growth in the nation's affairs. The emergence of democracy and individualism is his overarching theme." [Publishers Weekly]
