OSCAR G. reviewed on 4/21/2009

"David Brion Davis has provided a brilliant analysis of American reactions to the French Revolution and subsequent foreign liberations....Particularly impressive in this work are its breadth of erudition, urbanity, and felicity of expression. In an age of overspecialization in historical scholarship, it is refreshing to find a historian who is not only willing to take on the large comparative subjects, but is capable of trating them with authority, style, and imagination."

George M. Fredrickson, Stanford University
