The author's "ambitious and provocative" global and spatial revisionism recasts developments central to U.S. history in the context of world history, showing both the importance and ordinariness of America's international entanglements over five centuries.
Major themes include considering the Age of Discovery and transoceanic trade’s transforming effects, the Revolution as one of several similar rebellions around the globe, the Civil War as part of a larger history equating nationhood with freedom, America’s commitment to empire beginning with Jefferson, and the place of America’s responses to capitalist industrialization and urbanization as part of a worldwide conversation.
