James Monroe, Ensuring National Security with an Instinct for Command was written for university and college students as well as the reading general public. It is part of the book series titled First Men, America’s Presidents. The book should be of wide interest to Virginia and New York historical societies, parks, organizations, schools at all levels, and libraries across the nation. It should be sold at The College of William and Mary in Williamsburg, Virginia where James Monroe attended college. The book should be of interest to university faculty who teach courses on the U.S. Presidency and courses in Colonial and National periods of American history. It should also interest teachers of the survey courses on American history at all levels—K-12 through University graduate school. This book might also be used in courses on ethics and education for citizenship.
