| Description: |
This work presents the political ideas of Alexis de Tocqueville, as set out in his work ""Democracy in America"", in the context of contemporary politics and ideas. The central concern of the book reflects De Tocqueville's own - that of reconciling liberty and order. |
| Synopsis: |
"Commager on Tocqueville" is Henry Steele Commager's masterful interpretation of Alexis de Tocqueville's "Democracy in America." Using Tocqueville's classic as a vehicle for discussing such contemporary issues as the environment, civil rights, and the military-industrial complex, Commager calls for a new vision of American leadership that trascends nationalism. |
