The finalists are:
Pauline Maier, Ratification: The People Debate the Constitution, 1787-1788.
Jack Rakove, Revolutionaries: A New History History of the Invention of America
Alan Taylor, The Civil War of 1812: American Citizens, British Subjects, Irish Rebels, & Indian Allies.
My money is on Taylor.

What a competition! Those are three incredibly gifted scholars who have all contributed significant books.
John might be right that Taylor will win, but I think Maier's work is pretty impressive, too.
