520    Alexis de Tocqueville was one of the greatest political 
       thinkers of all time. Born a French aristocrat, he lost 
       nearly his entire family in the Reign of Terror, and spent
       most of his adult life struggling for liberty under the 
       unsuccessful regimes of nineteenth-century France. He was 
       a man of apparent contradictions: an aristocrat who 
       believed in democracy, a conservative with liberal ideals,
       an agnostic with Christian faith in humanity. At age 25 he
       traveled to America and encountered democracy for the 
       first time. This firsthand experience contributed to his 
       incisive writing on liberty and democracy. His book The 
       Ancien Régime launched the scholarly study of the French 
       Revolution, and Democracy in America remains the best book
       ever written by a European about the United States. In the
       first full-length biography in English, historian Brogan 
       puts the man and his ideas together for a fuller 
       understanding of how his influential interpretations came 
       into being.--From publisher description.
