Empire of Liberty takes a new look at the public life, thought, and ambiguous legacy of one of America''s most revered statesmen, offering new insight into the meaning of Jefferson in the American experience. This work examines Jefferson''s legacy for American foreign policy in the light ofseveral critical themes which continue to be highly significant today: the struggle between isolationists and interventionists, the historic ambivalence over the nation''s role as a crusader for liberty, and the relationship between democracy and peace. Written by two distinguished scholars, thisbook provides invaluable insight into the classic ideas of American diplomacy.
