Book desription: Cambridge, MA, U.S.A: Harvard University Press, 1977. Hard Cover. Very Good/Good. This book is the first modern history of public life after the Civil War; it examines American politics, law, and government as the components of a national public life; a major theme of the book is the way in which various tensions, between equality and liberty, the desire for freedom and need for social order, dependence on government and hostility to the state, localism and nationalism, persisted through the decades of the late 19th century (cream-colored cloth with slight shelf and edge wear, a few pages with corner creases; dust jacket is price-clipped with crease along spine, a few tears and chips along upper edge; otherwise a good, clean, tight copy)
