- The End of Southern Exceptionalism
- Until now, the critical shift in Southern political allegiance from Democratic to Republican has been explained, by scholars and journalists, as a white backlash to the civil rights revolution. In this myth-shattering book, Byron Shafer and Richard Johnston refute that view, one stretching all the way back to V. O. Key in his classic book Southern Politics. The true story is instead one of dramatic class reversal, beginning in the 1950s and pulling everything else in its wake.

- Presidential Constitutionalism in Perilous Times
- Presidents have exercised extraordinary power to protect the nation in ways that raised serious constitutional concerns about individual liberties and separation of powers. By looking at examples through different constitutional perspectives, Matheson achieves a deeper understanding of wartime presidential power in general and of President Bush’s assertions of executive power in particular.
