Recenzje

'A fascinating and impeccably researched portrait of Clarence Streit, which reveals that federal union was far more than an outlandish idea that captured the minds of many during democracy's darkest hour. Shepherded by Streit, a gifted publicist, this idea took on a life of its own and fueled debates about international organization and an 'Atlantic community'. Often blinkered when it came to democracy's flaws, racism and empire, Streit nonetheless formulated an original and genuinely American contribution to international thought, a contribution that Imlay has recovered with admirable clarity and flair.' Katharina Rietzler, co-editor of Women's International Thought: A New History
