"Frederick Douglass, one of the most prominent figures in African-American and United States history, was born a slave, but escaped to the North and became a well-known anti-slavery activist, orator, and author. In The Political Thought of Frederick Douglass, Nicholas Buccola provides an important and original argument about the ideas that animated this reformer-statesman. Beyond his role as an abolitionist, Buccola argues for the importance of understanding Douglass as a political thinker who provides deep insights into the immense challenge of achieving and maintaining the liberal promise of freedom. Douglass, Buccola contends, shows us that the language of rights must be coupled with a robust understanding of social responsibility in order for liberal ideals to be realized. Truly an original American thinker, this book highlights Douglass's rightful place among the great thinkers in the American liberal tradition."--Pub. website.

"Gardien vigilant des tombes d'un cimetière national, tout proche du tragique plateau de La Vaux-Marie, vous en avez évoqué les glorieux morts. C'est ainsi que leurs familles, qui aiment à faire chaque année le pèlerinage de Rembercourt, trouveront dans votre livre, avec les grands et douloureux souvenirs de la dernière guerre, le nécrologe complet de leurs chers disparus. Vous avez ainsi prolongé dans ce livre — fruit de vos laborieuses recherches, — l'action de votre zèle religieux et patriotique. N'est-ce pas le plus bel éloge que l'on en puisse faire ?"
