Book Synopsis
One of America's most respected historians offers a major statement on the nature of America's political system and a critical look at the underpinnings of American society. American democracy has been transformed from an exercise in individual freedom and opportunity to a bureaucratic system created by and for dominance of special groups.

Trade Review
“A rich, subtle, and often ingenious argument . . . an eloquent, provocative, but disturbing book.”—Edwin M. Yoder, Jr., Washington Post Book World

“Mr. Lukacs is an original and subtle historian, and [this book] is an engaging intellectual surprise party. . . . I was continuously enchanted by the play of his ideas—by the sharpness of his distinctions and the acuteness of his descriptions.”—Naomi Bliven, New Yorker
