An American poet writes a compilation of historical vignettes, discerning the future of our democracy by rediscovering the combative, instructive, fascinating past of tyranny and democracy.
From Israel’s Ten Commandments, to the Athenian Constitution, to Rome’s Twelve Tables, to the overthrow of kings in England and America, Lyons traces democracy from its historical roots to the modern-day, constructing a blueprint of what defines tyranny or democratic government in The DNA of Democracy.
In this definitive guide, Lyons outlines the roots of democracies, by telling the tales of tyrants who ironically gave them birth—births of rebellion! This book serves as a how-to contemporary guide on identifying the menace of a tyrant when you see one! $0.99 on Kindle.
