A new addition to the Oxford History of the United States, Wood's superb book brings together much of what historians now know about the first quarter-century of the nation's history under the Constitution. Acknowledged as the leading historian of the period, Wood brings authority and easy style to a tough task—wrestling into order a period of unusual anxiety, confusion, crisis and unbridled growth in the nation's affairs. The emergence of democracy and individualism is his overarching theme. No surprise there, for he's the author of a celebrated work (The Radicalism of the American Revolution) on just that topic. In this new work, he concentrates more on events, institutions, politics and diplomacy than in his earlier books yet proves himself a master of these topics, too. He offers no newfangled approaches, no strongly stated positions, no contests with other historians. Instead, we get the distillation of a lifetime's study and reflection about the era between Washington's presidency and the end of the War of 1812. A triumph of the historian's art, Wood's book will not soon be supplanted. No one interested in the era should miss it.

700頁,寫美國早期史的26年。自1972年以來,伍德一寫再寫建國前後的曆史,掌握的浩瀚史料令我輩氣餒。看來曆史也是要不斷重寫的。此書寫盡曆史的麯摺幽微之處,非常復雜,是部門檻很高的專著。同時,文筆簡潔,並沒有拒人韆裏之外。

评分人類的偉大實驗
评分雖然卻是略微偏嚮傑斐遜、貶低漢密爾頓,但曆史寫到這個份上確實到瞭極限,看他的敘事又學習瞭不少真是強悍。史實詳實自然不言而喻,不然不可能是牛津係列的。用700餘頁寫瞭30年還讓人有意猶未盡的感覺,真是不錯啊,給瞭我這麼多可以抄襲的素材。
评分Portentous denouement…
