Tocqueville on War and Democracy
Abstract
Tocqueville's writings on war and the military are compressed into a space occupying less than 30 pages, some of them buried in the appendices. They appear principally in the second volume of his Democracy in America, published in France in 1540 some five years after publication of the better known first volume. The first volume is largely political in nature, focusing on the United States specifically, while the second examines the effects of democracy on a host of other institutions and relationships, among them literature, finance, social relations, and military issues.
