""This meticulous analysis is a welcome restoration of balance in the debates about Woodrow Wilson’s legacy. He locates Wilsons’s theories and practices in a consistent pattern starting with the War of 1812 and enduring through the Gulf wars. Cox explains how the fractious politics about the origins of America’s role in the world illuminates contemporary distortions about democracy and rules-based world orders that also shed light on realism’s limitations."" - Linda B. Miller, Professor of Political Science, Emerita, Wellesley College, USA ""Cox’s research cleverly adds to the debate on US entry into a series of conflicts throughout US history. It suggests we have to consider Wilsonian explanations to these engagements as well economic and strategic ones. The end-product is a much richer understanding of why the US engages in conflict."" - Matthew Alan Hill, Liverpool John Moores University, UK
