The American Political Tradition: And the Men Who Made it

by Richard Hofstadter, Christopher Lasch Narrated by Kaleo Griffith

Overview

The American Political Tradition is*one of the most influential and widely read historical volumes of our time. First published in 1948,*its elegance, passion, and iconoclastic erudition laid the groundwork for a totally new understanding of the American past. By writing a "kind of intellectual history of the assumptions behind American politics," Richard Hofstadter changed the way Americans understand the relationship between power and ideas in their national experience. Like only a handful of American historians before him-Frederick Jackson Turner and Charles A. Beard are examples-Hofstadter was able to articulate, in a single work, a historical vision that inspired and shaped an entire generation.
