Title: Better translations available
Product review: My two-star evaluation applies to the translation, which I found difficult to read, at times even incomprehensible. The goal in this edition is a literal "scholarly" translation. But those who really wish to weigh Tocqueville's exact choice of words will probably want to read the book in the original French. The introduction is very good.Tocqueville himself is still well worth reading today, although many of the early chapters can be skimmed. It is justifiably considered a classic.
