As we near the 250th anniversary of the declaration of independence, this new arrival caught our eye. From the publisher: "This is a book about revolutions. Most countries are the progeny of revolution. At the birth of this nation, the Founding Fathers faced the quintessential question of self-governance : how do you keep democracy from devolving into violent anarchy or brutal despotism? Drawing on little-known facts from the founding, Jonathan Turley reveals how the United States escaped the cycles of violence and instability that plagued other democratic movements, from ancient Athens to 19th-century France." You can find this title and much more on our new arrival displays in our reference room!
