Nineteen-year-old Oliver Huggins is in for the tutorial of his life. For twelve afternoons, Claire St. John, a beguiling British graduate student, will reveal to him the untold story of American Constitutional history. Her means: the Socratic method. Her message: that the Constitution was itself unconstitutional, and that its authors' inability to choose a name for the republic muddied the document's meaning for the future ahead. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThrough these \"tutorials\" de Grazia passes in review our most revered heroes--Jefferson, Washington, Marshall, Lincoln, and Thoreau--revealing the complexity of their characters. St. John's unsettling tales arouse more in her disciple than intellectual curiosity. Their relationship unrolls in so humorous and seductive a way that only a musty academic could object. Satirical, intelligent, and sure-handed, \u003ci\u003eA Country with No Name\u003c\/i\u003e combines history and literature, politics and law to reinvigorate our best traditions.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSebastian de Grazia \u003c\/b\u003e(1917-2001) was a Pulitzer Prize-winning author from Chicago.
