In Democracy Awakening, American historian Heather Cox Richardson examines how, over the decades, an elite minority have made war on American ideals. By weaponising language and promoting false history, they are leading Americans into authoritarianism and creating a disaffected population.

Many books tell us what has happened over the last five years. In Democracy Awakening, Richardson wrangles America's meandering and confusing news feed into a coherent story to explain how America got to this perilous point, what we should pay attention to, and what the future of democracy holds.

As an aging ignorant Brit I found this volume by the renowned historian HCR to be so enlightening. The 250 years of the American Experiment in "Of, For, and By" to be illuminating, describing the many and varied laps this marathon has experienced. And the struggle goes on, perhaps facing its greatest challenges for a century due to the growing authoritarianism.

Brilliant overview of the American Experiment
