James T. Schleifer is emeritus dean of the library and professor of history at the College of New Rochelle and has been a visiting lecturer at Yale University and the University of Paris. He is the author of the award-winning book The Making of Tocqueville's "Democracy in America"; coeditor of De la Democratie en Amerique, a critical edition in the Pleiade series; and translator of the four-volume historical-critical edition of De la Democratie en Amerique edited by Eduardo Nolla.
"James T. Schleifer includes so many excellent quotations to illustrate his points that it's conceivable that this book might be read tout seul, as a substitute for the real thing! I hope not. But virtually everything one needs to know about Democracy, including a taste for Tocqueville's prose, is included in this fine companion." -Michael Kammen, Cornell University"
