Of the People, by the People A New History of Democracy

Roger Osborne2012
Tells the stories of the different democracies that have come into existence during the past two and half millennia. From Athens to Rhaetia, Jamestown to Delhi, and Putney to Pretoria, this book shows how democratic systems are always a reflection of culture and history of their birthplaces, and come about through seizing fleeting opportunities.
