As was announced in class, the page numbers quoted in the syllabus for all readings from one of your course books - Paterson, Clifford & Hagan American Foreign Relations: A History Since 1895 - are incorrect. The Coop has been selling the Fifth Edition, whereas the page numbers refer to the Fourth Edition. Also note that the book is also referred to as "American Foreign Policy" in the syllabus, whereas the current edition is called "American Foreign Relations".
The correct pages for the readings in the Fifth Edition are listed below, organized in the same way as the syllabus, with only the page numbers and title of the book having changed. The online version of the syllabus has also been updated and is now correct, as is the downloadable version.
