The War Of 1812
2021-01-11 I read this in college for an independent study course in Government my senior year (1976-7). I remember having difficulty with the language and focusing on other books in the course, but still liking this.
And of course I have seen GREAT references to many aspects of this book many times since then.
It is very insightful about the power and benefits of individualism in early America vs. the collectivism and authoritarianism in Europe.
I would really like to make time to read it again, since America's political and cultural evolution has been away from what de Tocqueville saw here in the early 1800s, and toward the problems he saw so common in Europe then.
