Dear Historians, Political Scientists, and experts,
We are working on a contracted book titled The Routledge Handbook of U.S. Diplomatic and Military History the Colonial Period to 1877. We have already gathered a number of great contributors for this volume and are seeking additional contributors for the remaining sections.
We see this book being used as an excellent reference, and in upper level or graduate classes on military or diplomatic history, with the potential for individual essays or chapters being used in a wide range of courses.
We are seeking two different types of essays, as noted on the brief outline below-historiography/overview/introductory essays and topical essays within the chapter. Below is the list of essays for which we still need contributors.
These essays are overviews of the period and should include a review of literature. We are looking especially for established scholars to contribute the historiographical overviews:
Colonial Warfare in North America in the 17th Century
The American Revolution (1775-1783)
Expansion, Empire and Conflict, 1816-1877
Manifest Destiny: The Monroe Doctrine and Westward Expansion, (1816-1861)
The Mexican-American War (1846-1848)
The Civil War (1861-1864)
These essays are topical and may be include new material, or new arguments:
Tidewater Wars (1622-1644)
Siege and Massacre at Fort William Henry
Military Campaigns of Fort Duquesne
Great War for Empire – The French and Indian War as a World
War.
A Dual Strategy: Conventional and Unconventional Warfare (in the context of The American
Revolution).
Evolution of the Franco-American Alliance and France’s Military Contribution in the
Revolutionary War.
Jefferson and the LA Purchase: Westward Expansion and the Drive Toward Empire.
Atrocity and Reciprocity: The burnings of Washington D.C. and Toronto and the changing
military and diplomatic environment.
The Treaty of Ghent and the Battle of New Orleans: Sharpshooters, Volunteers, and
the Anatomy of a Battle fought after the war ended.
Andrew Jackson’s Indian Removal Policy This essay will discuss Jackson’s Indian Removal
Policy through the Trail of Tears. .
Winfield Scott in Central Mexico.
An equal right to die for one’s country: The plight of African-American and immigrant soldiers
in the Civil War.
Reconstruction as Nation Building.
Essays will be roughly 4,000 to 5,000 words and we would like a full rough draft by June 15.
This book is already under contract, along with a second volume, with Routledge. There is also a small honorarium being offered. This is a great opportunity for established and up-and-coming scholars.
We are seeking Ph.D. holders or the equivalent for all essays; we are seeking established historians for the historiography essays. If you are interested please send an email to both Dr. Christos Frentzos and Dr. Antonio Thompson with your preferred chapter and your C.V. If you have questions, please feel free to ask.
Sincerely,
Antonio Thompson, Ph.D.
