Deadline: January 1, 2009.
The Ellis W. Hawley Prize, given for the first time in 1997,
is awarded annually for the best book-length historical study
of the political economy, politics, or institutions of the
United States, in its domestic or international affairs, from
the Civil War to the present. The prize is given in honor
of Ellis W. Hawley, Emeritus Professor of History, University
of Iowa, an outstanding historian of these subjects.
Eligible
works shall include book-length historical studies, written
in English. Each entry must be published during the period
January 1, 2008 through December 31, 2008. One copy of each
entry must be received by each committee member by October
1, 2008. Final page proofs may be used for books to be published
after October 1, 2008 and before January 1, 2009. If a final
page proof is submitted, a bound copy of the entry must be
received no later than January 7, 2009. No late submissions
will be accepted. If a book carries a copyright date that

date falls during the correct time frame making it eligible,
