Influential revisionist history and reinterpretation of the American idea of itself and its economic & foreign policy, from the British colonial era to the Cold War. Williams was a popular lecturer and leading exponent of the 'Wisconsin School' of historical interpretation, positing that economic motives were foremost in America's foreign policy and imperialism. Though associated with the New Left and anti-Vietnam War movements, Williams left the UW partly because of concerns about increasing student militancy.
