5.0

I wish I could give this book 10 stars! It is a well researched, thoroughly documented, and eminently readable analysis of the fate and future of democracy in the world today. The challenges are so immediate and menacing, that it could seem futile and terrifying, but he gives rational, doable proposals for pushing back on the darkness. Above all he communicates the upbeat sense that if the people want it, democracy will triumph. But it won’t happen without courage and work.
