Most Americans are aware that evangelicals consider themselves to be the most faithful Americans and yet, at the same time, see themselves as victims of persecution. Analysis of these claims has tended to focus on whether the claims are true, on how they shape voting preferences, or on their historical roots. Embattled America takes a different perspective: these claims have grown louder in the decades of democracy's discontents. Jason C. Bivins argues thatthe claims of Martyrs and Whistleblowers are symptoms of America's larger failings to strengthen the conditions for democratic life, and thus that rather than engaging their claims on the merits, concerned citizens should reassess fundamental democratic norms as part of a broader challenge to emboldenAmerican citizenship and institutions.

When Franklin Roosevelt proposed adding up to six new justices to the Supreme Court in 1937, a firestorm exploded. FDR was accused of "Court packing," dictatorial ambitions, political trickery, undermining the rule of law, and undercutting judicial independence. Drawing upon extensive archival research, Laura Kalman revises the conventional wisdom by telling the story as it unfolded in FDR's Gambit. She argues that acumen, not arrogance, accounted forRoosevelt's actions. Far from erring tragically, he came very close to getting additional justices, and the Court itself changed course.

For over 35 years, the dominant histories of the American West have been narratives of horrific conflicts. As dark and as bloody as western grounds have often been however, there were also important episodes of concord, instances of barriers breached, accords reached, and of people overcoming their differences as opposed to being overcome by them. Peace and Friendship highlights the instances of cohabitation, deepening our understanding of how the West came to be: through colonization, violence, misunderstanding, and, surprisingly, at times, peace.
