Publisher's Synopsis
America has been a nation of great rivalry ever since the arrival of the European settlers. This book traces the history of the two foreign policy traditions from their incarnation in the colonial settlements to their evolution into a lasting rivalry between Hamiltonian and Jeffersonian ideals. Patrick Mendis deciphers the cause that unified these men and uncovers the founding vision of America.
