Redeeming American Political Thought

This book puts together a perspective of American history from a philosophical and historical framework that is groundbreaking. One of the wierd things I liked about this book is found in the 8th Chapter of the precisions that she gives in understanding American history using the ideas embodied in the 'Two Concept of Liberty' found in Isaiah Berlin's work in the classic 'Four Essays of Liberty.' After reading this book and see how she sharply employs the fine element of criticism when referring to DeTocqueville on his view of Democracy and Thomas Jefferson you will see things and even the world differently. This is a book that has been decades overdue.
