Paper #1: Additional Sources

POSSIBLE SECONDARY SOURCES (and you can find others too if they suit your purpose):
* Note: These are sources that came up in our weekly TF lunch. You may find additional works that you find relevant. Some of these pieces are listed for additional historical context. Others are arguments that may interest you. If you are going to work with one (or more) of the authors' arguments, it's important that you determine exactly how you're going to position your paper relative to these works. Did one of these authors miss something that you can point out? Did an author make a point that isn't clear, and you can make it more clear? Do you agree with part of what an author said, but not all, and now you want to refine the argument? Whatever your take, you want to make sure you're using Thucydides and Tocqueville, and whatever extra historical cases you need, to back up your arguments. All of the articles are available through Harvard e-library. The books you can track down in the Harvard library system.
