War on the Ballot offers a framework via which to think about the links between electoral demands and foreign policy decision-making in modern America. The book is well rooted in the history and scholarly literature of both the time period and the particular presidencies studied.

This book is a significant contribution to the relevant areas of recent American foreign policy and history.
