Description
"Democracy in America" is "the" 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 prophetic voice of de Tocqueville (1805-1859), a French aristocrat who visited the United States in 1831.
