Summary
Richard Dean Burns, Guide to American Foreign Relations Since 1700 (Santa Barbara, Calif., 1983), supersedes all other bibliography on pre-1981 materials. See also Gerald K. Haines and J.

Important overviews of the 1865—1900 years include Nell Irvin Painter, Standing at Armageddon: The United States 1877—1919 (New York, 1987); Eric Hobsbawm, The Age of Empire (New York, 1987), surprisingly weak on the United States; Akira Iriye, From Nationalism to Internationalism: U.S. Foreign Policy to 1914 (London, 1977), an important synthesis; Charles S.

McWilliams, The New South Faces the World (Baton Rouge, 1988), especially on the 1880s-1890s; Hans Ulrich Wehler, Der Aufstiegdes amerikanischen Imperialisms …
