"A valuable introduction to an important event in U.S. history, Halperin's nuanced book fills a real niche."
"The book is well researched and extremely well written. And it is teachable—one of the best short texts this reviewer knows of for undergraduate courses in early US history. Highly recommended."
"an important and intriguing book"
"... Halperin has succeeded admirably in explaining a somewhat obscure event in American history. Although the Alien and Sedition Acts figure into nearly every survey course in U.S. history, this book allows readers to gain a much deeper understanding."
