Jefferson's Empire by Peter S Onuf
Thomas Jefferson believed that the American Revolution was a transformative moment in the history of political civilization. This work traces Jefferson's vision of the American future to its roots in his idealized notion of nationhood and empire.
Jefferson's Empire is brilliant work by the historian best qualified to give us a new and thorough analysis of Jefferson's concepts of empire, nation, and unionIt offers both a fresh angle of vision on Jefferson himself and a superb contribution to the renewed understanding of the importance of federalism to the founding generation." —Lance Banning, University of Kentucky
"Peter Onuf has written a fine study of Jefferson's political thought approached as a coherent body of principles and affirmations formed during the critical years between his entering the lists as a polemicist for the patriot cause and his move to form an opposition to the Federalist policies in Washington's administration twenty years later. Jefferson's Empire is tightly argued, forcefully written, and intellectually challenging." —Joyce Appleby, University of California, Los Angeles
