Subtitled, "A New History Of Democracy". A fascinating and erudite history of the world's democracies, past and present, and the people who fought to bring democracy about. From Athens to Rhaetia, Jamestown to Dehli, this book shows how democratic systems are always a reflection of the culture and history of their birthplaces. *Also appeared in October Buyer's Notes*
