Summary:
This landmark book about America's "habits of the heart"--Tocqueville's expression for the mix of traits essential to our national character--explores the tradition Americans use to make sense of themselves and their society, and it presents one of today's major moral dilemmas: the conflict between our fierce individualism and our urgent need for community and commitment to one another.
