Publisher's summary

America’s most popular progressive radio host and New York Times best-selling author Thom Hartmann paves the way to saving our democracy.

In this powerful, sweeping history and analysis of American democracy, Thom Hartmann shows how democracy is the one form of governance most likely to produce peace and happiness among people.

With the violent exception of the Civil War, American democracy resisted the pressure to disintegrate into factionalism for nearly two centuries, and now our very system of democratic elections is at stake. So how do we save our democracy?

Hartmann’s newest book in the celebrated Hidden History Series offers a clear call to action and a set of solutions with road maps for individuals and communities to follow to create a safer, more just society and a more equitable and prosperous economy.

This book should be in the Library of Congress

Straightforward read. It makes history more of a storytelling reading experience. If history books were written this way when I was young I might have learned more.

Civics 101

Harttman has written the civics class on US democracy that we should have gotten in high school but didn't perhaps due in part to the vested interests of the oligarchy.
