It was a real pleasure to speak with @Clement__Knox about the themes of his latest book ‘The Scramble For America: How The United States Conquered A Continent’.
Expect to learn about the English and British folkways that created the United States, the impact of the great power rivalries that led to the nation’s territorial acquisitions, and some biographical wrinkles of the key protagonists in the founding and expansion of the United States.

A seriously excellent piece of work. I highly recommend the book: https://t.co/xD5gThfhK7

I wrote about the origins of the Constitution and the parallels between post-Brexit Britain and post-Independence USA for @TheCriticMag

[The Critic @TheCriticMag]

The American founding is a case study in peaceful regime change, writes @Clement__Knox. Britons should take note
