Battleground of Desire: The Struggle for Self -Control in Modern America
Peter N. Stearns
The author of this book seeks to reveal what he considers a fundamental dichotomy at the heart of the American national character: a self-indulgent hedonism and the famed American informality on the one hand, and a deeply imbedded repressiveness on the other.
