Reviews of America, but Bigger

"A superbly written, timely examination of America’s imperial temptations." 

"Our Verdict: Get It."

-  Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

"Mark Kawar, with America, but Bigger, provides a sweeping, imaginative, and convincing synthesis about U.S. territorial expansion, showing that for all its current geographical expanse, today's America could easily be far larger, given a few slight twists of history. In a strikingly clear, lucid narrative, Kawar threads his way through complex historical moments, revisiting not only well-known episodes in America's expansion initiatives like the all-Oregon movement of the 1840s, but also obscure crises and intrigues that could have eventuated in territorial annexations—in close by domains like El Salvador and in exotic, distant locales like Nuka Hiva in the French Marquesas. This book is an eye-opening gem. It deserves a large readership."

"'America, But Bigger' is an extraordinary and unreservedly recommended pick for personal, professional, community, and college/university library American History collections and supplemental curriculum studies lists."
