A Great and Rising Nation: Naval Exploration and Global Empire in the Early US Republic

byMichael Verney

A Great and Rising Nation illuminates the unexplored early decades of the United States’ imperialist naval aspirations. Using archival sources, narrative history, and voices from the period, A Great and Rising Nation moves between close observation and a wider account of the systems surrounding its subject. By placing A Great and Rising Nation within history, the book reveals why its central tensions extend well beyond one person, place, or moment. Readers come away with both the essential context and a sharper sense of how the naval exploration and global empire in the early us republic continues to shape the present.
