The aftermath of the Jameson Raid and the American decision making in foreign affairs, 1896 Book

This book offers a counterargument to race being a catalyst to American expansion. Love asserts that race and racism actually hindered expansion due to Americans fear of annexing populations of people who weren't "white." I enjoyed Love's arguments because it is a radically different take on many works on American expansionism, however this book was so boring. As my history prof said, it would have functioned better if it was shortened into an article, and I agree with her. The arguments are sound, however there is a lot of repetition with examples and arguments given for each area of potential American annexation included in this book.
