Details: Product Description
In A New Republic, one of America's most respected historians offers a major statement on the nature of our political system and a critical look at the underpinnings of our society. American democracy, says John Lukacs, has been transformed from an exercise in individual freedom and opportunity to a bueracratic system created by and for the dominance of special groups. His book, first published in 1984 as Outgrowing Democracy, is now reissued with a new introduction, in which Lukacs explains his methodology, and a new final chpater, which sums up Lukac's thoughts on American democracy today.
Review
“A rich, subtle, and often ingenious argument . . . an eloquent, provocative, but disturbing book.”―Edwin M. Yoder, Jr.,
Washington Post Book World


“Mr. Lukacs is an original and subtle historian, and [this book] is an engaging intellectual surprise party. . . . I was continuously enchanted by the play of his ideas―by the sharpness of his distinctions and the acuteness of his descriptions.”―Naomi Bliven,
New Yorker
