Acknowledgments
This volume is a true product of collaboration in the best sense. Our
thanks must begin with Tony Badger, Bruce Schulman, and Julian
Zelizer, the three luminaries who established and led an annual
conference dedicated to American political history— an enterprise
that, since 2006, has helped set the agenda for the field. Each year,
the conference rotated among their home institutions— Cambridge,
Boston, and Princeton universities, respectively— and featured a
different theme with a wide variety of speakers from the United
Kingdom and the United States. The conference not only has con-
tributed to the field of American political history but also has forged
enduring transatlantic links of scholarship and friendship. On one
occasion when it was his turn to host, Tony invited the editors to
come up with a theme and organize the proceedings. That was the
beginning of a journey. The end, after numerous changes and with
several splendid additions to our caravan along the way, is this vol-
ume. We are incredibly grateful to Tony for his faith in us, and for
generously funding the conference.
Under Tony’s leadership, the staff at Clare College, University
of Cambridge, kindly and tirelessly devoted themselves to making
the conference a great success. To all who participated in that meet-
ing, we give heartfelt thanks. To all our brilliant volume contributors,
we stand in awe of your learning, your accomplishments, and your

patience as we reworked the conference proceedings into a more coherent and
cohesive book. Finally, Susan Ferber, of Oxford University Press, has displayed
remarkable measures of faith, wisdom, and good humor in helping us to get
this work to print and to make it the book we envisioned. There would be no
book without her support.
