The United States in the World

A Series Edited by Mark Philip Bradley and Paul A. Kramer

Books in this innovative series globalize the study of United States history.  It features extraordinary works that explore how people, ideas, processes, and events that transcend national borders have shaped United States history from the antebellum period through the present. Cornell University Press and the series editors welcome established and emerging scholars based in the United States and abroad who work on diverse topics and regions of the world.  The series encourages books that integrate the methodologies of transnational and international history, particularly the use of domestic and international archives; multilingual sources; and the study of the important role played by both state and non-state actors. The goal of the United States in the World series is to bring together the best new scholarship that globalizes United States history, thereby enriching and broadening our understanding of United States history.

The published titles in the series are:

Path of Empire: Panama and the California Gold Rush by Aims McGuinness

The Artillery of Heaven: American Missionaries and the Failed Conversion of Middle East by Ussama Makdisi
