The "Second Best Book on America and Democracy" Back in Print.
"It is a truth almost universally acknowledged that with his book Democracy in America Alexis de Tocqueville wrote both the best book on America and the best book on democracy outright. It is a truth less universally acknowledged that with his book The American Republic Orestes Brownson wrote the second best book on America—and democracy."—Edward T. Oakes, S.J., The Margaret and Chester Paluch Professor of Theology, University of St. Mary of the Lake/Mundelein Seminary
ISI Books is pleased to announce the publication of Orestes Brownson's classic, The American Republic. First published in 1865, The American Republic is considered one of the seminal works on American democracy. Noted political philosopher Peter Augustine Lawler has provided a wonderful introduction which will assist a whole new generation of readers as they encounter Brownson's thought, perhaps for the first time.
The American Republic demonstrates why Brownson is considered one of our nation's best critics of American democracy and culture as he presents his views on the nature, necessity, extent, authority, origin, and constitution of government in the light of the problems caused by secession and reconstruction. As National Review writes: "[Brownson] deserves to be freshly remembered." Order your cloth or paperback copy now!
