- Summary:
- "Alexis de Tocqueville famously wrote about democracy in America, but he also lauded Catholic rule in Quebec, feared the nationalism he witnessed in Germany, and thought Algerians natural pupils of French masters. Jeremy Jennings traces Tocqueville's lesser-known travels, recovering the wider insights of one of history's great political thinkers."-- Provided by publisher.
