In the American Foreign Relations since 1600: A Guide to the Literature, a team of distinguished historians has culled the most important published and unpublished works in U.S diplomatic literature and thoroughly annotated them. The work comprehensively covers five centuries, from America's colonial era into the 21st century. It also:

• Includes more than 16,000 annotated entries.
• Puts emphasis on journal articles and essay collections.
• Features special sections on bibliographic, historiographic, and biographic sources in each chapter.
• Guides users to entry information with a easy to use search engine.

Both selective and comprehensive, this is the only bibliographic reference work of its kind. It is indispensable for all university and college library collections, public libraries, historians, and students of U.S. foreign relations.
