Summary: >>> REVOLUTION IN FAVOR OF GOVERNMENT <<<
Comment: "Edling's book is a powerfully argued revisionist interpretation of the origins of the Constitution. More than anything else, it helps us better understand the constitutional sources of the gigantic fiscal-military state that the United States has become."
--Gordon S. Wood, Pulitzer-Prize-winning author of *The Radical Roots of the American Revolution*

"Max M. Edling's exciting new book is a breath of fresh air in an agenda-driven and highly politicized historical literature that has lost touch with historical reality. The state-building paradigm enables Edling to bring history back in, both through comparative analysis of developments elsewhere and by reconstructing the broader geopolitical context within which the American federal state operated. REVOLUTION IN FAVOR OF GOVERNMENT is an impressive achievement."
--Peter Onuf, Thomas Jefferson Foundation Professor of History, University of Virginia

"Certain to be controversial, this major and timely work alters the terms of discussion about the Framers' intentions in writing the Constitution and about the kind of government they sought to establish. Everyone interested in the subject will have to contend with Edling's arguments, which challenge over 30 years of widely accepted scholarship."
--James M. Banner, Jr., author of *The Elements of Teaching*

"Not only a pleasure to read but extremely informative and persuasively argued. I will never think about the US Constitution in the old way again."
--Daniel W. Howe, Rhodes Professor of American History, Emeritus, Oxford University
