Democracy in America

About this book

Tocquevilles monumental book is as relevant today as when it was first published in the mid-nineteenth century and it remains the most comprehensive penetrating and astute picture of American life politics and morals ever written -- whether by an American or as in this case a foreign visitor. This special edition contains the entire two volumes of Democracy in America based on the second revised and corrected text of the 1961 French edition meticulously edited by the distinguished Tocqueville scholar J.P. Mayer.
