Table of Contents | Read the Introduction | Reviews | Browse the book  Beginning with the Cold War and concluding with the 2003 invasion of Iraq, Hannah Gurman explores the overlooked opposition of U.S. diplomats to American foreign policy in the latter half of the twentieth century. During America's reign as a dominant world power, U.S. presidents and senior foreign policy officials largely ignored or rejected their diplomats' reports, memos, and telegrams, especially when they challenged key policies relating to the Cold War, China, and the wars in Vietnam and Iraq. The Dissent Papers recovers these diplomats' invaluable perspective and their commitment to the transformative power of diplomatic writing.  ORDER THE BOOK $45.00 $31.50 (with the discount code DISGU) - Cloth - 296 pages - 11 illustrations    *Orders for the UK, Europe, Africa, the Middle East, South Asia, and South Africa will be handled by John Wiley and Sons.

The text, written by leading historians of New York City, follows the grid's initial design, implementation, and evolution, and then speaks to its enduring influence. A foldout map, accompanied by explanatory notes, reproduces the Commissioners' original plan, and additional maps and prints chart the city's pre-1811 irregular growth patterns and local precedent for the grid's design. Constituting the first sustained examination of this subject, this text describes the social, political, and intellectual figures who were instrumental in remaking early New York, not in the image of old Europe but as a reflection of other American cities and a distinct New World sensibility. The grid reaffirmed old hierarchies while creating new opportunities for power and advancement, giving rise to the multicultural, highly networked landscape New Yorkers thrive in today. ORDER THE BOOK $40.00 $28.00 (with the discount code GREBA) - Cloth - 224 pages - 200 illustrations. *Orders for the UK, Europe, Africa, the Middle East, South Asia, and South Africa will be handled by John Wiley and Sons.
