Republics Ancient and Modern, Volume III: Inventions of Prudence: Constituting the American Regime
"Rahe has written a seminal work that will for a long time put students of political thought in general, and of the ideas of the American founding in particular, in his debt. In a way that even evokes comparison with such masterworks of philosophy, history, and social science, as those of Aristotle, Niccolo Machiavelli, and Baron de Montesquieu, Rahe brings to our contemplation the complex fabric of republican political inquiry from Plato to Thomas Jefferson."--Ralph Ketcham,William and Mary Quarterly
