Born a French aristocrat, he lost nearly his entire family in the Reign of Terror, and spent most of his adult life struggling for liberty under the unsuccessful regimes of nineteenth-century France. He was a man of apparent contradictions: an aristocrat who believed in democracy, a conservative with liberal ideals, an agnostic with Christian faith in humanity. At age 25 he traveled to America and encountered democracy for the first time. This firsthand experience contributed to his incisive writing on liberty and democracy. His book The Ancien ReÌgime launched the scholarly study of the French Revolution, and Democracy in America remains the best book ever written by a European about the United States. In the first full-length biography in English, historian Brogan puts the man and his ideas together for a fuller understanding of how his influential interpretations came into being.--From publisher description. 600 10 $a Tocqueville, Alexis de, $d 1805-1859. 600 14 $a Tocqueville, Alexis de <1805-1859> 600 16 $a Tocqueville, Alexis de, $d 1805-1859. 600 17 $a Tocqueville, Alexis de, $d 1805-1859. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00041873 600 17 $a Tocqueville, Alexis de, $d 1805-1859. $0 (DE-588)118642871 $2 gnd 600 17 $a Tocqueville, Alexis de. $2 idsbb 600 17 $a Tocqueville, Alexis de. $2 swd 650 0 $a Politicians $z France $v Biography. 650 0 $a Political scientists $z France $v Biography. 650 0 $a Historians $z France $v Biography. 650 4 $a Historiens $z France $x Biographies. 650 6 $a Historiens $z France $v Biographies. 650 7 $a Historians. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00957686 650 7 $a Political scientists. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01069858 650 7 $a Politicians. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01069915 651 7 $a France. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204289 651 7 $a Frankrijk. $2 gtt 651 7 $a France. $2 gtt 650 7 $a Historiker $z Frankrike $v biografi. $2 sao 655 4 $a Biographie. 655 7 $a Biography. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423686 856 41 $3 Table of contents $u http://bvbr.bib-bvb.de:8991/F?func=service&doc_library=BVB01&local_base=BVB01&doc_number=015698997&line_number=0001&func_code=DB_RECORDS&service_type=MEDIA 856 42 $3 Book review (H-Net) $u http://www.h-net.org/review/hrev-a0f7g1-aa 856 42 $3 Contributor biographical information $u http://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0728/2006934482-b.html 856 42 $3 Publisher description $u http://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0728/2006934482-d.html 941 $a 6 952 $l OZAX845 $d 20240525035811.0 952 $l N2AX314 $d 20210728014522.0 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20200204034259.0 952 $l PYAX423 $d 20191001012153.0 952 $l ULAX314 $d 20190926091049.0 952 $l MMPE553 $d 20180719035700.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=2CBA127A4A8111E7A5A8299FDAD10320 994 $a 92 $b IOOInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
