Classic analysis of America's unique political character, quoted
heavily by politicians and perennially popping up on history
professors' reading lists. The book's enduring appeal lies in the
eloquent, prophetic voice of Alexis de Tocqueville (1805-1859), a
French aristocrat who visited the United States in 1831. A
thoughtful young man in a still-young country, he succeeded in
penning this penetrating study of America's people, culture,
history, geography, politics, legal system, and economy.
Tocqueville asserts, I confess that in America I saw more than
America; I sought the image of democracy itself, with its
inclinations, its character, its prejudices, and its passions, in
order to learn what we have to fear or hope from its progress.
