Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

The great wartime leader, Winston Churchill, once remarked, "Democracy is the worst form of government, except for all those other forms that have been tried from time to time." Democracy on Trial recounts the history of this progressive form of governance while comparing it to a competing form: absolutism. Today we see the results of this conflict: flourishing civilization on one hand and crushing despotism on the other. Dr. Lasso, from his own bitter experiences with the despotism of Panama's dictator, shows us how today's democracy was won and how it must be vigilantly earned.Dr. Lloyd MullerHistorian
