Of The People By The People A New History of Democracy

"A thoughtful and thought-provoking study" Good Book Guide "Enjoyable and pacy" Literary Review "There is much to admire in this book ...to retell the history of democracy so vividly is no mean feat. His work serves as an important reminder that the price of democratic freedom is eternal vigilance" BBC History Magazine "Includes all democracies - past and present, questioning our views, how they came about, and who fought for the cause and why" Bookseller "He writes lucid, accurate prose that carries heavy freights of information lightly" -- A.C. Grayling Independent on Sunday
