What if the American experiment is twofold, encompassing both democracy and tyranny? That is the question at the core of this book, which traces some of ways that Americans across the nineteenth century understood the perversions tyranny introduced into both their polity and society. While some informed their thinking with reference to classical texts, which comprehensively consider tyranny’s dangers, most drew on a more contemporary source-Napoleon Bonaparte, the century’s most famous man and its most notorious tyrant.
