Alan Taylor, twice awarded the Pulitzer Prize in History, is the author of American Revolutions and American Republics, prior volumes in his acclaimed continental history of the United States. He is Thomas Jefferson Foundation Professor of History at University of Virginia, and lives in Charlottesville, Virginia.
"Taylor’s special contribution in “American Republics” is his
capacity for panning out to capture major historical trends… he
shows his skill in producing an expansive overview that synthesizes
discoveries by historians, including himself… Whether as a gloss of
received historical wisdom or as an overview whose originality lies
in its comprehensiveness, “American Republics” succeeds
admirably."
*David S. Reynolds - The New York Times Book Review*
"[Alan Taylor's] book is written in clear, readable prose
designed for readers with little or no prior knowledge of the
period, and the work has touches of wokeness, which helps to fit it
nicely into this extraordinary moment in our history."
*Gordon S. Wood - The Wall Street Journal*
"... masterful new volume..."
*M. J. Andersen - The Boston Globe*
