In an age when political talk often extols dead certainties, this recognition of the complexity inherent in democratic life is refreshing."" - H-Net Reviews (H-Education) ""An intelligent book on Tocqueville is always welcome. Danoff's book ... is thoughtful, knowledgeable, sensible and rigorous. It is also highly provocative. To his great credit ... Danoff, like Tocqueville himself, argues persuasively that a good democrat is a moderate democrat and that a good democracy requires a traditional moral foundation. That alone makes his book well worth reading."" - Teachers College Record"
