Acknowledgments
I have incurred debts, some quite great. I thank above all Ronnie Gruhn
and Harold Jacobson. I am indebted as well to comments I received from
Barbara Anderson, Lars-Erik Cederman, David L. Chappell, Matthew
Evangelista, Eric Gampel, Ellen Gordon, James Holli‹eld, and A. F. K.
Organski. My research was aided in various ways by the Center for Politi-
cal Studies at the Institute for Social Research, the Immigration and Natu-
ralization Service, the Institute for the Study of World Politics, the
National Archives, Rackham Graduate School, and colleagues at Williams
College and the Oakley Center for the Humanities and Social Sciences.
