"[An] engaging study . . . Steven's account of the initiation,
prolongation, and ultimate settlement of the dual imbroglio is
thorough, clear, and thoughtful."
--Journal of American History
"This brilliant study . . . [is] a thoughtful, balanced treatise on
two related events that had major impacts on international law and
on federal-state relations within the United States. . . . Steven's
placement of the Caroline case within the context of contemporary
international law adds an additional insight not often found in
works on the history of American foreign relations."
--Journal of the Early Republic
"This is the first full-scale study linking the Caroline and McLeod
affairs and evaluating their influence on Anglo-America-Canadian
relations in the late 1830s and early 1840s. . . . This
well-research and well-written study is a valuable contribution
essential to those who seek a clearer understanding of the impact
of the Caroline and McLeod affairs . . . and of the significance of
these events to determination of federal authority over American
foreign relations."
--American Historical Review
