Together with his history of the French Revolution; and Doyle's Oxford History; and Schama's Citizens; it is an education in civics.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. An American MUST READBy Sojourner KnightAlexis de Toqueville's Democracy In America is a must read for the US citizen who desires this country to once again shine in greatness and leadership as it was designed by the founders. This is a 3rd party review (Frenchman) of the American experiment; and why it works; if the plan (Constitution and Christian ethics) are followed. Quintessential. Its opposite counterparts in non-ethics and demise would be Rules for Radicals by Alinsky; and The Prince by Machiavelli.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. A voice of warning to the Americans; and the worldBy M. LeeThis is an amazing read; and notable coming from a Frenchman who lived through much of the aftermath of the French revolutionary period. Interesting the close ties of freedom to religion; especially Christianity. And his commends on Islam. Recommended read; especially for Americans; but really; for everyone today; as his is a prophetic voice of warning to us today.
