In this narrative history, author Cerami presents the major players and events that led to the purchase of the Louisiana territories in 1803, which effectively doubled the United States and helped it to realize its "manifest destiny" of ocean-to-ocean borders. Cerami discusses the political maneuvers that led to the event, as well as its significance in American history.

Industry Reviews
"In this bicentennial year of the Louisiana Purchase, it's hard to imagine a more lively, shrewd and vivid narrative of the tangled events leading to it than this book....Cerami's book is notable for its readability and clarity." (Starred review)
