Abstract: Empire and Education covers education and American imperialism from the War of 1898 to the War on Terror. It offers the first single-volume narrative history devoted to the role of education in American interventions abroad and pulls together isolated case studies and archival research into a coherent, accessible, narrative sweep. This path-breaking volume inspires new directions in the study of American educational history.
