Reviews for The Chicago Companion to Tocqueville´s Democracy in America
"James T. Schleifer includes so many excellent quotations to illustrate his points that it's conceivable that this book might be read tout seul, as a substitute for the real thing! I hope not. But virtually everything one needs to know about Democracy, including a taste for Tocqueville's prose, is included in this fine companion." -Michael Kammen, Cornell University"
