Democracy in America Vol. I
by Alexis de Tocqueville (1805-1859)
Translated by Henry Reeve (1813-1895)
When Alexis de Tocqueville visited America in the 1830s he found a thriving democracy of a kind he had not seen anywhere else. Many of his insightful observations American society and political system, found in the two volume book he published after his visit, still remain surprisingly relevant today.
