Kathleen McDermott
Senior Editor for History and Social Sciences
I acquire both general interest and academic books across a wide range of history as well as in historically focused social science. Among the areas I cover are American history, with a particular interest in early American; Atlantic history; European history from late medieval to modern; Russian and Central European history; Asian history; and international relations. I also encourage book proposals in global history, U.S. Western history, Native American history; military history, and legal history.
