JENSEN The first comprehensive history of military surveillance in the United States, this book traces the evolution of America's internal security policy, from its beginnings at the time of Benedict Arnold's betrayal of West Point to the surveillance of and violence against protesters during the Vietnam War. Joan M. Jensen discusses the federal government's use of army intervention in domestic crises and how Americans have protested the violation of civil liberties and have applied political pressure to limit military involvement in civil disputes. 328pp. £19.95 DIVIDED WE GOVERN Party Control, Lawmaking, and Investigations, 1946-1990 DAVID R. MAYHEW Conventional wisdom has assumed that the American national government functions more effectively when one political party controls the presidency and the two houses of Congress. Yet divided governments of Republican presidents and Democratic Congresses, such as those of the Reagan and Bush administrations, are increasingly the norm. In the first systematic analysis of this trend, David R. Mayhew asks if this should be an issue for public concern. 192pp. £17.95 THE POLITICS OF DEFENSE CONTRACTING KENNETH R. MAYER Is the United States' defence budget really just a huge pork barrel project ? Drawing on previously unavailable data on recent defence contracts, Kenneth R. Mayer demolishes the myths that have long surrounded defence politics and spending and proves that the politics of defence spending are relatively benign and that the military-industrial complex is relatively weak. 240pp. £16.95 WRITING IN THE NEW NATION Prose, Print, and Politics in the Early United States LARZER Z1FF In this engrossing book a well-known commentator on American literature and intellectual history examines the relationship of literature to society during the formative years of the American republic. Discussing novels, personal narratives, travel accounts, and natural histories, Larzer Ziff shows how these works both shaped and were shaped by the culture of the period. 224pp. £16.95 CONCEPTS OF FREE LABOR IN ANTEBELLUM AMERICA JONATHAN A. GL1CKSTE1N In a major contribution to American labour and intellectual history, Glickstein investigates how Americans from all walks of life viewed the meaning of manual labour in the decades before the Civil War, focusing on the way attitudes were influenced by sectional conflict over black slave labour and by the growing tide of industrialization. 512pp. £32.00 SECRET RITUAL AND MANHOOD IN VICTORIAN AMERICA MARK C.

Probing the dynamics of social change, his focus is the incompatibility between modern society and the existing liberal state.
